i think if one of the social media i had when i ws a teenager had shut down i would've been in such an awful state mentally. and it is sad that cohost is going (augh my phone keeps correcting cohost to chost, thank you welsh auto-correct). but i'm also lucky to have overcome some of my worst social anxieties in recent years and i have irl communities that i love so much now. i know not everyone is as fortunate as me, and i'm still not able to be a part of these communities all the time when i have a health flare-up or whatever, but. idk where i'm going with this. just realising i've made a lot of personal growth i guess.
i think also maybe i haven't really processed that cohost is closing down? bc i saw the announcement after i had just left a memorial for my friend's son who i knew a bit too. so everything already felt weirdly surreal that day and i just don't think i've processed that this site is going yet.
