phone cleanse and detox
i wanna say 1-2 times a year, i go through everyone i follow in my socials and unfollow anyone who i dont gaf about. and it reveals a lot about how ive changed and grown as a person. i unfollowed a lot of people from high school and it made me feel like a bad person, but there was just no reason to follow them. don’t wish ill will to anyone, just don’t gaf and i also changed my phone aesthetic and i enjoy looking at something new :) now i need to go through almost 9k photos…

I want to unfollow people, but I don’t have the will or courage to do it. 😭 I've been detoxing from my phone by turning it into a sort of "dumb phone"—minimizing apps and setting my home screen to grayscale. Hopefully, this helps me use it less and avoid doom-scrolling.

i found myself overwhelmed and sick of social media too
i recently began to ask myself why am i using all these apps and do i really need all of them, and i started realizing that the things i’ll miss out with these apps is so much more than without them, i knew i had the idea that my worth was tied to my online presence and i’m happy that i’m getting rid of that mentality.. i had so many memories in my snapchat account but i ended up deleting the account and the app because if i didn't do it than i may never, later that day i removed my twitter accounts and the app from my phone and i’m so glad i did, and i replaced them with healthier and less time consuming apps till i decrease my screen time gradually

HIGHLY RECOMMEND DELETING ALL YOUR PICTURES IN YOUR PHONE
I deleted like 5,000 pictures and most of them were screenshots and like random videos of spiders?? I posted the ones I felt held emotional value to my tumblr with explanations and it was only like 10 pictures and honestly that says a lot I did this like two weeks ago and these are the only pictures I’ve kept since then!!! It really makes you wonder why you’re so attached to the past and makes you be more intentional with what you save!!!

Follow -100 people on social media
It's so freeing having only 10 people in your following list. I only follow so many people bc it's only friends or family (I have so many friends >.<) I regularly declutter every social media I have, it's almost meditating for me

friends’ kid photos
a couple of my friends shared some photos from their childhood and high schools days and i started sobbing…like really hard. this was all over text thankfully what got me was being able to see their facial features in their childhood photos and now every time i look at them i think of them as a little baby and i think about how much i want to hold them and. ugh. i might cry again

phone, wallet, keys, airpods
i keep as little on me as humanly possible, which has resulted in my downfall haha. though i am a student so i also carry a backpack with me, which other than my laptop, hard drive, journals, and writing utensils, is mostly trash. i appreciate a pair of pants with deep pockets oh, also occasionally some 🍃
