I'm a photographer but i gave up on my instagram long ago. Thinking if i should go back to posting. I've been doing photography much longer than I have the devoted insta because I hate what social media does to a creative career.

I need a place to archive my thoughts in a dated manner, but also not on instagram. I used to post things pretty frequently on my stories and then have a 'highlights' of the year that I could go back to look at, but now, I am not so comfortable sharing on such a commercial soul sucking platform that is data mining and surveilling and selling. I also feel like I am not, in my core, a good person. There are very few people who, when I see their success and happiness, spark genuine joy for me. For the most, I have to take a deep breath and remind myself that their life does not affect mine and that I should not let the display of their wealth of happiness, opportunity and beauty spoil the pursuit of my own. Some days, I feel so engrossed in knowing and wanting to know the updates of all the people around me. Now, I just want to shrink and disappear, I do not want people to know what I am up to and I do not want to peripherally watch others either. I want to focus on myself. I feel like I need to cut the plug on instagram with a hard delete. Maybe I will just buy myself a photo printer and print out the 'instagram' shots with their memories and make my own photobook instead. But I need to find a new way to document and archive my life.

It's some sub-brand of Marks&Spencer that existed in the 1990s. I thrifted it under $8 because the thrift store had a sale huh. I'm proud of all my thrift finds but I don't have pics of all of them.

There are a lot of movies that have impacted me in this or that way. I used to spend days in a movie theatre with my elder sister. I'm naming 2, though. The Tenenbaums helped me to accept that my family was imperfect. The original Mulan helped me to be much less hesitant about not following the stereotypes of what a woman should be.
