Taryn Wright

uh, intensive care unit.

I don't know how to pronounce that.

Um, you see it.

I mean, like, have you ever like stumbled upon somebody that has like a lot of Facebook friends, but not a lot of interaction from them.

And they just constantly are like on our way to the doc, on my way to the doctor have a fever.

Like, it's just like this constant, like drip of information about health stuff, you know, like, and they don't even get a lot of attention from it, but it's just like become normalized to like, I mean, I had my appendix out in February and I was like imagining what it would be like to be like,

in the ER right now, you know, like here's my results of this, like sharing, just sharing your vitals, getting a selfie with the drip.

And then I'm sitting there like feeling terrible and imagining like taking selfies, you know, like to post on Instagram.

It's such a weird, again, like the, the trick is to like leave Instagram, leave Facebook for two years, come back and then just be horrified by like what it has become because it's just so strained.

We both sound like two little Luddites, like,

How dare you?

I can say, I mean, yeah, I'm done.

I have no desire.

Every once in a while, like I'll be like,

I'll come upon something that's kind of interesting and I'll be like, should I write about this?

And I'm like, no, it's just it just was too much psychologically.

And like, again, the filming the pilot, then the pilot didn't work.

And then like having to tell people that I knew, you know, like, oh, I'm so upset because my pilot didn't get picked up.

Like, what the hell am I talking about?

You know, like that's an insane sentence coming from, you know, south side of Chicago, English major Taryn.
