Almost eleven years ago, as my senior year of high school drew to a close, a few of my friends convinced me to get with the times and start a Twitter account. Little did I know when I caved to their constant badgering that I was opting into something that would become a significant part of my life and my career.
About one month ago, I took a step I had dreamed of for a long time but had never managed to follow through on: I deactivated my account. When I did it, I resolved to myself that I never had to return if I didn’t want to. It felt even more freeing than I had imagined.
