REAL DROP 05:

Meet Kate. Founder of Off The Record: a pocket-sized game designed to spark real conversation.

And she’s done keeping up with the Insta friend.

We’re living in the era of instant gratification.
Instagram. Instacart. Instant validation.

And yup, it’s messing with how we form REAL relationships.

In this drop, Skylar + Kate get honest about the rise of performative friendship, the pressure to look like you have so many besties, and why it’s okay if your circle is small but real.

Because being friends online doesn’t mean you’re known.
And looking like you’re thriving isn’t the same as feeling it.

Because real friendship?
It’s not found in the comments.
It’s built in the moments no one posts.

REGARDLESS of what the algorithm says “bestie” should look like...
It’s okay to only have two close friends.
It’s okay to want more depth and less display.

Because being real?
It’s not a trend.
It’s a rebellion.
