I'm never giving up Twitter.
I'd like to. It's a nice dream. It's pleasant to imagine some future where I'm fabulously wealthy,????? ????? ?????? ????? ?? ???????? sunning myself on a chaise plopped on some Mediterranean isle with a name I couldn't possibly pronounce. But even then I'd probably be mindlessly scrolling through Twitter.
I can relate to Chrissy Teigen, is what I'm saying. Teigen, perhaps the most notable Twitter user — now that a certain New York real estate guy is banned — is back after a relatively brief hiatus from the platform. She announced on Friday that she was coming back to the platform after walking away in March.
"Turns out it feels TERRIBLE to silence yourself and also no longer enjoy belly chuckles randomly throughout the day and also lose like 2000 friends at once lol," she wrote on Twitter.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.
As her tweets on Friday hinted, Teigen quit Twitter because of rampant abuse and a pretty steady stream of backlash.
"My life goal is to make people happy," she wrote on March 24 before shutting down her account. "The pain I feel when I don’t is too much for me. I’ve always been portrayed as the strong clap back girl but I’m just not."
The TV star/food-culture personality/model/general-famous-person was back to posting on Friday, saying she'd take the "bad with the good."
Someone asked what Teigen did when she got the urge to tweet during her three-week hiatus.
"I've spent weeks just saying tweets to shampoo bottles," she responded.
I get it, Chrissy. I get it.
