PART 2
Losing access to TikTok felt like losing a lifeline to the world, and the emotional void it left was both unexpected and profound. I share my personal experience of stress and disconnection, as I attempted to replace this vital source of real-time news and community with platforms like Clapper and Blue Sky, only to find them lacking. The absence of TikTok forced me to reevaluate my digital habits and rely on familiar creators like Aaron Parnas and Lisa Remillard for solace and insight during this unsettling transition. Through this journey, I discovered just how embedded TikTok had become in my daily life and the challenges of maintaining content creation without its resources.

Amidst this digital upheaval, I also look back on my year-long struggle to grow a loyal subscriber base, contrasting the quick rise of some creators with the persistent effort I’ve poured into each follower gained. As I approach the milestone of a thousand subscribers, the journey remains one of dedication and perseverance. On the eve of the inauguration, my thoughts turn to the potential for mass deportations in cities like Chicago and LA, a looming concern that casts a shadow over the new year. Despite these challenges, I hold onto hope, expressing a heartfelt longing for a future filled with community strength and positive change.
