“document my entire life in GIFs”
A) I promise that’s not all I took away from your article, but it’s what stuck in my head for the moment, most.

Wow. I thought this article reads like my early morning thoughts. I am a writer myself, but have trouble focusing when I get no responses to my stories. Facebook, instagram etc give instant gratification where most other things don’t.
