Even if they weren't your main friend group in high school!! And even if you haven't seen each other in years!!
Literally just got my hair cut by an old high school friend who I haven't seen in 3 years and it was the most joyful experience to sit and talk with a girl I grew up with and finally know her as a person (and not as some random character in school). You never know who you can build great friendships with until you get to know them for who they are now, rather than the kid they were in high school
(Obviously don't reach out to the bigots or bullies from school if you don't want to; but the good people you remember sometimes? maybe say hello, I promise it won't kill you :))

I just had some convos with middle school friends and it’s crazy how much has changed but it feels really nice to just check in sometimes. Reminds me that everyone’s always around if you’re willing to take the first step

Yesterday, a friend I hadn't talked to in two years contacted me. I was so happy to hear from her and to hear that she was doing well. It made my day knowing that she thought of me randomly. Now i'm going to meet with her next week.
This is your sign to reach out to old friends again.

I have to disagree with the people who say that we need to “stay” and “fight“ for IG to be a better platform because in actuality, it’s our presence and engagement that gives them data, and therefore money. As long as they have those 2 things, they make their bottom line and won’t really care about its users desires unless they’re making a move for the optics.
If we REALLY want to hold them accountable, we need to impact the money they make, which means permanently deleting or marking your account as inactive & never coming back. They’ll only care if they’re bleeding money— so make them bleed.

Every piece I wear has some sort of sentimental story backed behind it (my bracelets/rings/necklaces/some of my earrings). For me, wearing sentimental jewelry serves 3 purposes:
1) Bringing life to pieces that have been given to me with love
2) Carrying my loved ones wherever I go
3) Prevented me from making impulsive jewelry purchases (because fast fashion jewelry doesn't feel the same way a gift does)
Ig the only exceptions I make in fast fashion jewelry is earrings, but only bc I need boring earrings for corporate-wear lol
