Social Media

Today I decided that it would be in my best interest to stop posting on and maintaining social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram because they’ve become too much of a distraction for me. It’s easy to get caught up in the algorithm — clicking on articles, then immediately heading to the comment sections. Before I know it, I’ve fallen down a rabbit hole of thoughts and negativity that I don’t even want in my mind.

So much of it feels argumentative and divisive, and I’ve always been someone who just wants people to be peaceful and get along.

For my own well-being, I truly believe stepping away from those platforms will be beneficial. I also think I’ll get a lot more done and be able to focus more on creating.

The scheduled deletion day is July 2nd, so we’ll see if I make it!
