 Micro-blogging. Remind me why do we choose to do it this way again? 
 I guess in a way, it is a quick and easy way for people to get emotional stuff out of their chest. But I feel like that's not really healthy, no? If we're just throwing emotions at each other, without really much thought, that feels like a way for us to be rather disconnected and divided. 
 I mean I wouldn't think saying these would be much of a connection, either. Micro-blogging is too short for us to be able to properly relay our thoughts and their reasoning. It surely does serve as a way for us to, uhm, vomit emotions at each other rather than build a healthy social medium for thoughts.
