Samsies on the timeline. It was 2020, I was deployed to the desert, and I was taking classes for a Masters Degree in Public Health.

I could NOT mentally deal with all the Covid misinformation flying around, and my family's love of Trump. But I for some reason also couldn't stop myself from checking FB constantly.

So, I deleted it, and the whole 30 days wait time was hella annoying because I had to stop myself from logging in. But when it was finally gone, I felt SUCH an immense relief.
