That’s a deep question! I think most of us use social media to connect, share, or just escape for a bit even if we don’t always realize it. Sometimes I catch myself scrolling food posts like the Texas Roadhouse menu, just for the comfort of seeing delicious meals. It’s funny how online spaces mix connection, curiosity, and craving all at once.
