To me, Hot Wheels had more than a superficial meaning; through them, I was able to have a closer connection to my dad and his brothers, who had accumulated a large collection as children.

“Our conception of love is messed up,” by oliSUNvia went into depth on how social media apps, most notably TikTok, have given people a hyperreal perception of what the ideal relationship should look like. Olivia brings up the popular phrase, explaining how it’s in fact a lie.

I was in awe and immediately became obsessed.
