I'd been using Instagram as my scrapbook of neat things I've done/made for several years. Mainly it's for my own personal enjoyment but I left it public because artist types like showing off I guess. Anyway, I accidentally made a post that went mildly viral, 300k views and 8k likes, and it pretty much took the fun out of it for me. I guess I didn't really want an audience, I just wanted to look in the river like Narcissus. Now everytime I glance I get a notification that ripples my reflection.

I caught the tiger by the tail. What a world.
