TikTok, encouraging people to let go when faced with situations or
behaviors they cannot change. However, not only does “let them”

phrase, but it also might contribute to unhealthy social behaviors
that, thanks to the internet, have resulted in a loneliness crisis
for Gen Z.  This podcast is produced by Daisy Rosario, Olivia
