but i never really post on there anymore. so now instead of being constantly replaced by videos that are potentially embarrassing and cringeworthy in entirely NEW ways, my old tiktoks are left to waste away in plain sight, to anyone new who visits my page.
the part of me that doesn't want to delete all my tiktoks is the part that's a fiercely loyal archivist, who loves every silly little tiktok with the force of a thousand suns. deleting is for cowards who can't stand the blaze of the rays of cringe.
there's also a part of me that deeply believes that anything i post immediately becomes almost none of my business. it's the same part of me that can't manage to care too much what i look like at any given moment; i'm the not the one who has to look at me! none of my business! it's out of my hands!
same with the stuff i post. unless i really want to (and sometimes i do), i never have to look at any of it again. and yet it can breathe and live and exist out in the world, and might even help someone love the cringe in themselves a bit more.
so for now, i will not delete all of my tiktoks.
