TEXT ME INSTEAD

Social media can be a right sap on time. All you want to do is dump some digital drivel. But before you know it you’ve spent fourteen hours scrolling through posts of people you give zero fucks about.

Not to worry, your social media pacifier is here. Text Me Instead is a space for you to dump your thoughts and leave it at that. Each week this page will be updated with texts I receive, so you can scroll through, see what people think of your ideas and not be distracted by pictures of cats or whatever.

Your journey to social media freedom starts here.

BE THE FIRST – TEXT NOW!
