Not a newsletter, just a thought on TikTok’s fleeting moment
Cafecito con leche Friday night, with a dash of cozy and jumbo crayons.
Dear Cafecito,
In the words of Jim Morrison from The Doors, "I see myself as huge fiery comet, a shooting star. Everyone stops, points up, and gasps 'Oh look at that! 'Then - whoosh, and I'm gone..and they'll never see anything like it ever again...and they won't be able to forget me - ever." These words remind me of TikTok's short-lived existence where trends and creators came to life and captivated users of all ages during a time when we needed it the most: during the global pandemic. What I loved about this app was that it brought the best out of introverts and extroverts.
Just like a comet, it cannot be recreated, and there will never be another app like TikTok ever again. As TikTok's "huge fiery comet" begins to fade, I am filled with a bittersweet nostalgia. I actually deleted it a few days ago for personal reasons and also because I'm not very good at goodbyes. I am sad to see it go, but grateful to have witnessed how it brought people to together through storytelling and building meaningful connections worldwide, and now we get to be a part of its fleeting moment in time. Farewell, TikTok. ♡
Thank you for stopping by, and have a wonderful weekend!
Sincerely,
Clari♡ from The Cafecito Diaries ☕️📝 | 💌 hello@claribotello.com
