I had to get another post out there so people wouldn’t think this is a blog about fishing…
Switching up my thought process when it comes to the content I’m putting out has been interesting. It’s a fun challenge, and I’m proud of myself for following through with different avenues of sharing (mainly this blog, and my YouTube channel which is at the very beginning of its life)
The more I learn about the short form videos, the more I think they really are a toxin in our society. BUT- I’m proud to say I’m 2 months sober from having Instagram on my phone! It was mainly the Instagram reels that were getting me. I never had much of a problem with TikTok, YouTube shorts, or Facebook reels… I do still get on Instagram on my computer every so often, but it’s not much of a problem. I don’t know what it is about scrolling on the phone that makes it so difficult to have boundaries, but when I scroll on my computer I don’t last long.
I know I’m not alone in this shift. Whenever I talk to people about this, I rarely hear of someone having a positive experience on social media. Besides maybe the random aunt who only follows like 17 of her family members and uses it to keep up with baby pictures. But even that person is being fed more and more content they didn’t ask for. Calling it ‘social media’ these days is generous. It’s the modern day infomercial.
Anyway! Happy Wednesday. Anyone else trying to live a little less on autopilot, and with a little more intention? They say people overestimate what they will do in a year, and underestimate what they will do in 10 years. I’m trying to look back on my life and be like, damn, I made that shit happen.
