Dear Snapchat,
We need to talk, because the more I think about it, the more I believe it. It's not you, it's me. If you were a human, I think you would be my best friend because everywhere I go, you're by my side. You keep me entertained at my darkest and deepest boredom meltdowns. You give me color—you take it away as well. You give me life while allowing me to become something I can't ever be.
I mean, come on, you can even fix my nose without having to pay for a surgery. That's something to be thankful for and money that more than just a few celebrities could have saved if they used you more often.The face-swap option? Genius—Genius idea! I was Adele for a second after a face-swap, for God's sake!
Sometimes I wonder, if we are too ugly for you but perhaps we're not and as per usual, I'm overthinking—but with all these filters you've given us, I think it's a little fishy.
I'm addicted to your incredibly cute puppy. I'm a puppy mom, so I feel like I can finally relate to my four paws child, who does that seriously?
Ever since your release date back in 2011, you've taken over the life of more than 100 million people. Being part of that 60 percent of 13-34 year-old snapchatters with smartphones, I can't be the only one who feels this way.
Yes, yes, yes, I know you're a distraction because just when I try to study or focus on something important, you tempt me to take my phone and open your bright-yellow-little-white-ghost looking icon, but I always forgive you because you make me laugh with that tomato filter of yours. One day, I might even get fired from work just for using you, but that's OK. I'll continue to share the daily doses of bagel and coffee I intake. And through your magic, I'll continue to discover and transport myself to places around the globe for 10 seconds and continue to share my LIVE life moments with those who allow me to and with those who are countries away from me.
Bottom line is, regardless of how addictive you can be, thanks for making it easier through video-calling to talk and see my family from one continent to the other with just the touch of my phone's screen.
At the end of the day there is only one thing left to say: #SorryNotSorry? Perhaps not.
Snapchat, today with Adele's face, I declare myself #snapaddicted.
