Bit of a twist on the logic of social media and dopamine hits. ---

those kindred spirits drift on breezes, whilst minds race fathoming nothing for connection is fleeting and minds continue to whirr

Social media a no brainier vicarious extension to life, at least life on the vicarious soup can have lasting connections of understanding and dopamine highs (sometimes) nice meaningful tanka, cheers David

I've had the full range of feel goods from PS - bit addictive at times unfortunately or maybe I've still got decades worth of unwritten poetry to get out before I calm down :)

Thanks Paul - social media has lost its appeal for me but I think I may have replaced it with poetry...

a well-crafted Tanka. Yes, the connections on social medie are fleeting yet some people do cling to their temporary fix of dopamine. Insightful. Enjoy your day, Sara

I don't bother posting much on social media I can't deny I'm susceptible to the feel good of praise, just like a sugar rush though I generally realise external validation a bad habit I should be looking to break (or not get reliant on at least!).
