Is SW like your secret club to go to from the outside world?

The world is a small and large place at the same time.
In your smaller world you can be surrounded by people who know you well, but can't possibly hear every word you have inside. This might not be intentional, it can simply be that you speak a different language and they just don't connect with you on the same level, you need to seek out other conversations from time to time.

Some might think social sites are a huge waste of time, a sign our world is becoming one continuous loop of social media, one more way of distancing ourselves. But I like SW and even if what I post isn't that interesting to some at least I can express myself and share something.
What about you?

SW and EP definitely played the role of a secret place separate from the pressures and people of the real world. But i think I compartmentalize my life way too much and that sometimes I forget I'm a mix of so many things because I have to pretend I'm not 95% of the time.
It feels like SW has just become another extension of that so it's almost part of the problem rather than a wonderful escape like it used to be. 🤷‍♀
