just had a sudden memory of the brief window when snapchat was a thing i used and a fun way to communicate with friends
i don't remember exactly when i stopped using it, only that the more things that were added, the worse it got, until one day the bad outweighed the good
there was something nice about how low-stakes it was, and how i could be a bit more comfortable being in a picture knowing that it was meant to be ephemeral. i miss that
