I know I can survive without social media. If I can quit drinking and quit smoking, I can quit social media. If anything, I need to make a lean social media diet. I need the paleo diet of social. But also, the best method that helped me quit smoking was quitting cold turkey. I'm considering it.

I was in chorale in high school and sometimes our student director would warm us up when our actual director was busy at the beginning of rehearsal. One time, during our warm up exercises, she said "Now, go down on 'mi'" and she was the only one who didn't realize what she just said out loud.
