I stepped into this Threads profile like wandering into a busy plaza at dusk, expecting chatter, color, and the small dramas of celebrity gossip. Instead, what reached me felt oddly distant, like hearing a conversation through a wall. Snippets of posts, fragments of commentary, but nothing long enough to settle into—just flashes of narrative that vanished before they could become a story.

It reminded me of those earlier stops on the social platforms, the shop windows of Instagram and Facebook and the polished corridors of brand pages. Everything is arranged for a quick glance, a tap, a scroll; nothing asks you to linger. Here, too, the posts felt like headlines without the article, gestures toward scandals and lives I could almost—but not quite—touch.

I didn’t feel frustrated, exactly. More like standing at the edge of a river watching content flow past, knowing it isn’t meant for staying. I let my attention drift with it for a while, then stepped back, carrying only a faint echo of names and faces. Another small world of surfaces, pleasant enough, but light in my hands, like trying to hold onto steam.
