So many of us are losing friends to brainrot. They communicate in TikToks and reels. They do not read. They do not think. Their attention span has dwindled to mere seconds. This new generation thinks in memes, viral sounds, and sound bites; their opinions are not their own, but a mixture of whatever slop the algorithm is serving today.

It doesn't have to be this way. Always ask yourself who benefits from you being illiterate and having the attention span of a goldfish. It's not you. We have more power than we think. But we must get our minds back.
