#socialLife on the Web
There’s something quite liberating about having a complete mental breakdown on social media. There’s no more hiding. There’s no more pretending to be perfect or normal. Everything is exposed, the darkness, madness, and naked brilliance is laid bare for the world to gawk confused at.
