the internet
When I'm up so late at night, everything seems ridiculously out of proportion. I can get upset about the slightest things, and then dwell endlessly until the sun comes up or I pass out from frustration.
Technology just makes this so much worse. Not only can I look up things that can make me more upset, I can solidify my worst fears by finding evidence to fuel them. Sometimes it would just be so much nicer to put my brain in time out and put my computer in a corner somewhere else.
What did people do before facebook and the internet? I wonder if it would be easier to deal with things. Instead of being bombarded by faces you never want to see again even though you probably looked them up anyway, you just have the memories and physical reminders of places you have been or keepsakes.

Luckily, on the internet you can always block the faces you don't want to see. It is very empowering having control over who you wish to see and who you don't wish to see. Unfortunately, there is no "block" button in real life. Well...unless you are a magician. I WILL NOW TURN YOU INTO A BUNNY!
It's true, you can block faces but that can also make things worse if you see them in real life. Especially if they noticed you blocked them D:
