Social Media Doesn’t Show It All

October 16, 2020February 2, 2021 ~ Mia Carella ~ Leave a comment

Social media doesn’t show it all.

“If you see love, run at it.”

I watched the “Patton Oswalt: I Love Everything” Netflix special at 3:00am this morning (because insomnia). I had to stifle my laughs to keep from waking up the other members of my household, who were obviously soundly sleeping at the time.

The special was great, but above all the hilarity, this quote stuck out to me the most.
