The Facebook
I’m sure you saw this coming. I haven’t used the chat feature in at least 2 years. My infrequent status updates are only announcements of major geographical change. I only message people I want to talk to in real life. I gave up birthdays for many months and returning to them has only made me feel disingenuous and needy.
