Before Social Media Ruined Everything

A hilarious and heartfelt look at life before likes, followers and notifications

You didn’t notice it happening.
No announcement.
No official moment.
No day the world voted to change.
Life just slowly became… louder.
At first it was helpful.
You could find directions instantly.
Call anyone anytime.
Answer questions without wondering.
But somewhere between convenience and constant connection, something subtle disappeared.
We stopped waiting.
We stopped wondering.
We stopped being unreachable.
And without realizing it — we stopped experiencing moments completely.
This book isn’t anti-technology.
It’s perspective.
Because many of us lived in a rare time:
We remember the world before everything was online…
and we live in the world after.
Inside these pages you’ll revisit everyday things that quietly vanished:
Making plans and actually showing up
Being bored long enough to invent fun
Conversations that ended instead of continued forever
Privacy that didn’t require settings
Memories that lived in your mind instead of your camera roll
You won’t find lectures here.
Just recognition.
The strange comfort of realizing you weren’t imagining it — life really did feel different.
And maybe still can.
