Scrolling through Facebook the other day (yes, I still do that so don’t @ me), I came across a random comment that stopped me mid-scroll:“Soon the internet will just be AI bots responding to each other, and then we can all go do something else.” Reader, I giggled. […]
It’s funny how a simple scroll through Facebook can take you down a rabbit hole, tugging at your heartstrings and bringing back bittersweet memories. Today, I stumbled upon an old friend’s page—she’s been gone for five years, but her profile is still there, quietly holding on to fragments […]
