When I was a kid, we didn’t have social media. We had Yahoo Chat. We didn’t use our real names, we used usernames that we would switch out as quickly as any 13 year old gets bored.

Back then we were told don’t tell people anything real about you, because everything you tell them will make it easier for them to figure out who you are in real life.
