A Love-Hate Letter to My Ex Named Instagram

You’ve changed, my dear. You’ve changed A LOT.

It seemed like only yesterday, you had that beautiful deep blue menu bar, your logo wasn’t a default Photoshop gradient, and all your posts were in chronological order.

And what are these circles with faces in them?

I’ve heard you call them “stories”…

So you tell me they’re the same thing your surrogate dad Facebook got for your sibling Messenger? Laaaaaaame.

Anyways.

This was a tough decision, since after our last date, my love for you has turned into defiant and kind of stubbornish hate.

But.

You’ve been attracting lots of attention ever since we broke up.

All the people I know (and people I want to get to know) have started using you.

So…I’m prepared to swallow my pride and succumb to you once again.

For a higher goal.

You monster.


Hi there again, Instagram.

It’s been a looooooong time. How have you been?
