deleting social media off of my phone
After watching the new Eddy Burback video I have been inspired to delete every evil application from my phone so I can actually live my life. I have had Instagram for almost nine years now, so it felt very powerful to delete it <3

I also deleted Instagram at the beginning of this year and it has changed my life! My mind is so much clearer and I can actually focus on my life. I can also read the news again instead of getting intensely angry at rage bait and avoiding the news like the plague. So happy more people are doing this!!

I watched this too! I’ve had YouTube and Instagram deleted from my phone on and off, but I even went and deleted google because I use it for evil (Reddit) (the relationship drama side)

delete apps you want to be off of and access on the browser
I know I can't shake instagram for good, i'm not that strong, but I deleted the app and only go on the browser when I really feel like I need to be on it. makes it a much less desirable experience and I spend way less time on my phone in general

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

listening to cds
finally using my portable CD player again to listen to my favorite album that isn't on any streaming services anymore!! it's so fun to have physical copies of media I like, and it was great to not use my phone for once (though the CD would pause every time I accidentally bumped into the player while I was walking to class; it was kind of charming but also pretty annoying).

ACTUALLY DOING THINGS I WANT TO DO INSTEAD OF JUST THINKING ABOUT IT
my roommate and I were making a list earlier of movies we wanted to watch, which made me think of how many books and video games and albums I have on my lists that I just haven’t gotten around to. (let alone my hobbies like learning guitar or studying languages or doing creative stuff!!!) which also made me realize.. if I put off things that I WANT to do, what have I been doing with my time then??? Scrolling social media??? I’ve lost so much time endlessly scrolling my phone, and I think it’s time I get around to all of those pieces of art and hobbies and experiences I’ve been putting off. And, on that note… I should go to sleep so I can enjoy tomorrow instead of feeling tired and unmotivated. Goodnight PI, I hope you all listen to some good music tomorrow. Xoxo Isaac

post breakup clarity
I feel like I'm me again!! It sucks to realize a bit late how much I was being disrespected but there's no time like the present :) Been listening to my favorite emo music and spending more time with my friends again. We are so back
