Sometimes your mind wants to leave but your scroller finger won't let you.
There are a gazillion reasons to close an app, exit out of your browser, or simply kill the power. Perhaps you matched with a jerk on a dating app, maybe the sun has set while you watched one too many YouTube videos of random items being squished by large pistons.
At a point, there's little left to do but vacate the feeds and interact with the physical realm for a bit. I know, I know. Sounds scary.
If you've been clicking around for so long that your eyes are dry and watery at the same time, here are some inspiring reasons to slow your scroll.
1. When the stans get political, it's time to go.

Swifties: *fighting about communism and capitalism*
Me: *closes app*— 🦋Basma🇬🇧Never met Tay🌴 (@swift_legendary) April 11, 2019
2. Let's wait until the third date to discuss which House we're in, shall we?
“I’m a Hufflepuff,” he said excitedly. “What are you?”
“I’m a grown-up,” she replied, deleting her Tinder app.— 50 Nerds of Grey (@50NerdsofGrey) March 24, 2019
3. Not to quote American Beauty, but "Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world, I feel like I can't take it..."
(Granted, they we're talking about a plastic bag and I'm talking about Twitter)

4. Too much human interaction.
bouta quit music, adopt 8 kids, and raise em on a beach somewhere. shave my head (again) like it’s nobody’s business and then write a couple novels. I’m @ human interaction overload.

9. This opening Tinder line deserves it's own t-shirt. And a restraining order.

Now, go! Be free! Enjoy the...sun? Is that what it's called? That big thing that emits light? No, not an iPad, the thing in the sky. Anyway, let's reconvene in 17 seconds when you open this browser again. GO TEAM!
