If Love was a Cringey, Crappy Social Media Hashtag
Everything wrong about sharing details like this
Ah, the #Houdini.
Now you see him/her, now you don’t. In this day and age, it’s normal to fill our pixelated grids with bae. We have every other picture, or every third picture, or every other however many we have mathematically decided is the optimal amount to share of our significant other. It’s us in Greece, or us in New York, or us at the local donut shop.
It’s always fun, with the perfect lighting, and the perfect smiles.
There is so much love and excitement, and we’re so lucky.
One day, those pictures disappear, interrupted and collapsed by the images between them. Almost seamless, the magician has pulled a rabbit out of the hat. Or, er, pulled the significant other out from the grid?
Either way, it’s a magical experience. Now you see me, now you don’t. It’s like I never existed, and, as much as it is strange, most would admit that it’s simultaneously funny.
