I Quit Social Media For Good… Here’s Why
So… I’ve been thinking a while ago about quitting social media. And the main reason it’s because I want to spend less time on the screen and more time in the real world. I want to rest my eyes by the end of the day and just spending time with my family or friends. I’ve been noticing I while ago that I feel mentally really tired by the end of the week, and I’m really aware that is because I spend most of my time watching a screen. I mean, my main job is to write on this platform.

Begging Me for a Like
It was late at night, I was lying in bed scrolling social media on my iPhone. A eerily feeling creep into my chest from the emptiness of what I was experiencing. My brain scrambled to continue to scroll as the aching in my chest grew. Each day I consumed social media the ache was present. I felt disheartened and lost in world of glowing devices luring me in. The lack of substance left an ache in my heart. Everything was so glossy and smooth, filtered, plucked and pruned. The filters, and their monocratic themes felt so flat and uninspiring.

Not exactly what you were expecting to read, huh? Don’t get me wrong, I can go on an absolute tangent about the onslaught of globalization and technological advancements, how far we have come in the contemporary age or even how amazing it is that we can connect with and share content with anyone, anywhere in the world with just the touch of a button. But that’s not what the focal point is today.

Keeping Up with Instagram
Last week I deleted the Instagram app from my phone. My creativity was declining, my anxiety was rising, and I felt like I was losing my self-identity, my purpose with every swipe. I started thinking, where do I fit into this big world with so many perfect, successful people?
