March 30, 2020: Day 15 - Marco Polo

**Shameless Plug** 
There's an app called Marco Polo.  It's like Snapchat for old people.  And, it's incredible.  It's basically sustaining most of my days at this point.  I am able to stay in contact with friends from all over the country through this silly face chatting app. I highly recommend everyone give it a try.  I'm forever grateful to my friends that got me on it! 

Here's what I've learned so far on Marco Polo:

1.  It's really awkward getting used to looking at yourself talking.
2.  It's really awkward getting used to hearing your own voice repeated back to you.
3.  There are no angles/lighting in which you will look good on Marco Polo. 

All of this is to say that it's incredible exposure therapy for getting comfortable with yourself.  It's comforting to know that the people you're Marco Polo-ing with expect a response from you, so you'd better get over yourself and hit them back with your message.  They'll love you no matter what - and that is a welcome confidence boost, especially when I haven't showered, my hair's a mess, and I haven't been out of pajama pants for three days straight. 

Download Marco Polo and talk to all of your Earth-angel friends today!  You might regret it - but it will be worth it!  :)
