And you could say any fucking thing you wanted without snowflakes getting their panties in a twist. Good times.
That essence is still what I aim for.
I'm borrowing a few things I've learned from this 'social media ghetto' era of the internet...
And I'm taking them forth into this new and simplified, independent oncoming era.
I feel sorry for people who weren't around in those internet glory days you and I remember...
But, too bad.
Like minds gravitate toward one another no matter what... people promoting free-thought materials of any kind on any of these social media platforms are spinning their wheels.
They're not even useful for getting traffic anymore. They're low quality, all the way around.
And those people who just looove those social media ghettos? Well, the truth is, we don't want them anyway.
Now of course, in no way am I implying that we can ever 'go back' to that "glory days essence"...
What's done is done.
But we can be inspired by it, and we can infuse that essence into what we go forth and create from here.
