Our story
We grew up as teenagers in the prime years of social media
As two Gen Z best friends who grew up as teenagers in the prime years of social media. In the 2010s, the growth of our friendship was synced with the boom of platforms like Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat, and we were quick to join the hype.
Our friendship was documented through social media
So much of our friendship was documented through Snapchat stories, Twitter posts and Facebook statuses, shaping our sense of selves in ways we didn’t even realise. And whilst our friendship was nourished on these platforms, like so many teenage friendships are, we both experienced the dark realities of growing up scrolling on apps designed to addict us.
We went to university on opposite sides of the country, after a while we drifted apart
After going to university on opposite sides of the country, we realised that the digital interactions we had relied on as teens were not enough to sustain our friendship. We had drifted apart. Now, in our mid 20s, we’re reclaiming our lives from our screens, and we want you to join us.
