Meanwhile, Saqib wrote following letter:

Hey Twitter,

When we met for first time, you were lovely.
A great platform to express feelings, gar kwledge and understand many different points of view. But, of late you seem to have gotten lost in all hate everyone is so ready to throw at each or, a place full of bullies, a place where abusing people is a rmal code of conduct.

se last few days have forced me to realise that I don't need this kind of energy in my life, where I wake up to hatred, where kindness is lost. It's made me realise that I need to surround myself with people, things, content and vibes that reflect who I want to be and how I want to feel; energies are contagious!

Thank you to my almost 99K followers for all love. We will stay connected through or platforms, but for w, Twitter and I are done. In a world where you can be anything, be kind!

Your ex Lover
S.
