i know that life is a peculiar mixture of joys and sorrows. some days are so sad that they seem to take away all the joy and peace within us. today is definitely one of the saddest days of my entire life. i lost my 10-year-old twitter account. some people might think it sounds ridiculous to consider this a huge problem. "why cry over a locked account with only 3K followers?" they might say. it's not a big deal, and it’s not even a famous account with millions of followers. but still, it means a lot to me. i’ve been using that account since 2010, or, to be more precise, for almost half of my life. admittedly, i'm not a facebook addict, nor am i an overly active instagrammer who posts 10 to 20 stories every single day. instead, my twitter account is the one place i’ve always turned to in order to express my bottled-up emotions, the only place i can share my thoughts without worrying about what people think if i stand my ground and speak my mind. i’m not trying to overreact, but it really did help me a lot in managing my "social media" anxiety. lol
so, it happened this morning. i woke up and checked my phone, as usual. it felt kind of weird that, 5-10 minutes after i logged into twitter, i suddenly received a notification saying i needed to enter a "two-factor authentication" code before accessing my account. i thought it was just a normal security measure, given how aggressive hackers have become these days. but things didn’t go well when i tried several times to enter the code sent to my phone. i even logged into my email account and requested a new password from the twitter support team, but it still didn’t work. i've done everything i can, but i still can’t get my account back. how can i just ignore the fact that my account exists and create a new one to solve my dilemma? it's not that i don’t have the credentials to access my account! 😭💔 some of my friends told me my account might have been hacked or suspended for some reason. i just don’t know what to do anymore! i think i’m going to have to say goodbye to my twitter. i don’t know if it’s too early to say that, but at the same time, i feel it’s really impossible to get it back. i just need some time to process my frustration. this is enough for today. goodbye and take care.
