3.5 years ago when we first started
@livenotmrw I wanted to do a funny viral skydive with
@_anthony_decarlo_ and this is what we came up with. I remember when it first started getting reposted by big accounts I was glued to my phone. I was sitting at wrestling practice eager to get out early so I can go check my notifications, when I realized how addicting something like “attention” can really be. I was sacrificing where I was in the moment (at practice) to go read what strangers were saying online. So I made a rule for myself that it’s ok to appreciate affirmation online, but not at the expense of what you’re doing. You must enjoy the actual activity more than you enjoy sharing it. I enjoy sharing adventures and storytelling, but I enjoy being on the adventure more.
