1. The face you’ll never forget

It doesn’t matter if you haven’t seen this user for months or years. You remain updated with her new hair color or her recent weight gains.

It’s hard to know what this user really feels based on her posts. She shares Thought Catalog articles most of the time, but you don’t really know who she’s talking about. After all, the more vague the status, the better. Berlin ArtParasites is also a staple on her profile.
