There's no need to share the image, but most of you may be aware...TikTok is available for download on iOS & Android devices. It's been placed on the Apple Store & Google Play Store. For a lot of people, this will be able to fulfill their addiction and reconnect them to what some may consider their haven.

For others, however, it will be a test of how to truly handle temptation and whether it's worth getting back on the application. I added it back on my phone, & I may have uploaded 2 videos so far, but this is a temporary band-aid because it still has to go through the proper fixings with Congress, & if there's no resolution by April 5th, then the app will be no more. Someone has to buy it from ByteDance. Who that will be...there's no telling. I have a hunch that they will have it very modified and watered down with time. I will admit that in the few days that I've been on it, it's been getting closer & closer to home, which is a bit scary in a sense.

Those of you who have downloaded it back to your phones, value and cherish those times. Please don't get overly distracted from the priorities at hand, though, because sometimes, one thing can cause us to get steered off course from what we're intended to do and who we're intended to be all along. Just sharing this as a friendly reminder. As always, this is BT signing out & I hope you enjoy your week.
