the great distractor

Why the internet of course! Why even consider addressing your problems when you have a gazillion reasons right at your fingertips to not think about them. I was certainly not going to call it the great babysitter...

Peyton thought about the poor state of her relationships, finances, mental health, achievements, and future and within a keystroke the great distractor was informing her on recipes for a beach body, celebrities sharing political opinions, cats doing ballet, 10 ways to financial freedom, and how not to die while travelling abroad. Almost five hours later Peyton began to appreciate that she would never have to worry or try again in her entire life due to the internet's existence.
