I ve been against social media since i was young but not because i had a certain awerness about it s effects. Ut s just that i never understood why people felt the need to post things to "let their friends know how they re doing". Couldn t they just text them?
Even with this confusion i still spent a looong time on social media, but without posting anything. I felt i had to, because all my friends kept refrencing things i didn t understand and i felt stupid. But after years following that mindset i decided it s better to not understand certain trends than to have my mind clouded by short form content. And i m glad i did and do not miss it.
Now i watch movies and read books, watch video essays on yt, listen to new music i stumble upon and it s more fun than scrolling for hours.

🏊I recently deleted all social media apps(except for Perfectly Imperfect, duh) and it's like night-and-day.
Why do I need to know about everything happening in the world? Why do I need to allow the algorithm to rile me up about things that I have zero control over?
Last night I wrapped presents and listened to 1930s jazz and read a book instead.

Lately, I have found much less of a calling to be on social media. I don't know a time where I checked my socials and walked away feeling happier. Do you? I have to be on my phone a fair amount due to work but I catch myself automatically clicking into apps out of boredom and I'm trying to stop that behaviour. I see the good in social media, the ability to stay connected to friends and be in-the-know on everything-- I think the whole point is that you feel left out when you're not on it.. so you're sucked in constantly. But that's not reality. I could disassociate for hours online and look up to the world around me and think, where the hell was I? I don't want to feel like a bystander watching other people's lives for a solid chunk of my day. Engaging more in the real world is a priority for me at this time in my life.

😃Was going through instagram stories for the first time in months. Nothing wrong with using social media in the right way or really however you want to. I just really don’t miss it when I avoid it and when I go back I like it less and less.
PI feels like an exception- it’s a much purer form. Not trying to kiss ASS here, but it kinda just feels like old twitter which was a happy place in the timeline of social media…

🚙On buses and in uber there s always music playing but my grandpa only drives in silence. And that makes me think of this age of entertainment and how we bring extra stimulation in even the most mundane tasks.

🧸This is my first post and it got me thinking of all the other firsts happening this year. I just got accepted into my dream college and i can t wait for my first day. I m also getting my first apartment with my little sister so i can be close to the campus.
All these first steps into adulthood make me feel more like a little child but i couldn t be more excited.

Ever since i started listening to music i ve been mesmerized by AURORA's singing and her powerful lyricism. She s an advocate for everyone that doesn t have a voice, a beautiful person inside and out.
The seed is one of my fav songs of hers and i belive it s relevent to what s going on in the world right now
