tiktok ban thoughts

Hey queens, why am i feeling sad about this tiktok ban…..

So when i first heard that the ban was set in actual stone, i didn’t really mind all that much. If anything, I was happy because i am a victim of doom scrolling. There was also a part of me that was like, “they do this every year… what makes this year different?” But now it has been confirmed official. Last night I was starting to look through my account and decided to post a bunch of my drafts so I could have them saved to my phone. Yall… the nostalgia really got to me and now im kind of sad? Like I am going to miss making silly little videos with my silly little friends! I have so many memories from making these videos. And I know that sounds insane that i have memories from tiktok but like damn, its true! My friend Brooke and i would try to learn as many dances as possible. I would make the stupidest videos ever with my roommates that were so fun to film. 

Also I realize how many businesses were run and started through that app. And ik it sounds whack, but it was many people’s source of income. what will happen to all of these people??? no other app is quite the same and has the same capabilities. What about people who found community through this app. I am really going to miss all of the recipes i saw as well. 

All in all, i am very sad this app will be done for in the US. I am glad that i wont be doom scrolling anymore, but I am saddened about everything else.
