Why I Deleted My TikTok Account

I came back to TikTok only to remember why I left in the first place.

Yesterday, I did something I swear I wasn’t going to do. I resurrected my relationship with TikTok.

As you remember, two weeks ago my daughter and I made the empowering move of quitting TikTok once and for all. And the feeling was glorious.

But yesterday, I was overcome with regrets, and I did the equivalent of texting “Hey handsome” to an old fling.

Here’s what happened.

Earlier in the day, I finally released the first teaser to my next book, Masquerade Mistake. It was a moment of sheer overthinking, because I wanted to make the best first impression. So I spent a long time (hours) creating this first reel, and I’m super pleased with how it turned out. I uploaded it to both Instagram and Facebook. Then I did the classic thing the rest of the day — refresh, refresh, refresh as I prayed the Meta gods would push it out to the masses.
