Recently, I lost a Snapchat streak with my friend Taylor. It couldn’t have been much over 50 days at most. She even told me that she was sorry for not keeping the streak up, and in all honesty, I couldn’t care less (that sounded a lot meaner than I anticipated).
I told her that I didn’t care if she broke it or not, she was still my friend and I’m not going to let a number on an app define that.
I’ve grown tired of worrying about waking up and Snapchatting so many people just to increase a number.
Another thing that upsets me about Snapchat are the people who Snapchat me with nothing but “Good Morning Streaks”. If I Snapchat, I want to be good friends with you and have conversations with you, not just random pictures.
When I tell people this and they ask me “if you hate it so much why do you still use it?” I don’t hate Snapchat. Snapchat is one of my favorite forms of social media; I keep in touch with people because of it. It just makes me irritated when people flip out on me when I would lose our streak.
Just because I don’t have a long streak with you does NOT in any way mean that I value you less than someone who I have a long streak with. It also doesn’t mean that because I have a long streak with you I value you more than someone else.
Rant over. (These are only some of my BEAUTIFUL FRIENDS who I love so much even though we don't have a snapchat streak)
