Why do we love snapchat so much?

One of the most popular social media platforms of our generation is an app called snapchat. Recently I was thinking about why I am so addicted to the app and for what reasons. Essentially the main purpose of the app is to send pictures or selfies to our friends, and have a constant view in on peoples daily lives. So why am I refreshing my snapchat feed every couple of seconds, and recieving hundreds of snapchats a day? Isn’t it kind of stupid, instead of living my own life I am so interested to see how other people are living theirs. I am mad about myself for this fact, but at the same time I can’t help myself. Our generation is living more of our life on snapchat than out in the world. And do you wanna know something? I cant blame us. Snapchat is like a drug. If I dont check it at least a couple times a day I feel like I’m missing out. It’s not that I hate snapchat, but I feel like we need to find a way to stop being so addicted to the app. I easily spend an hour or two a day on snapchat, which obviously isnt healthy. I’m planning to slowly ease myself out of going on the app so much, but i don’t think I’ll ever be able to quit snapchatting completely.
