I'm glad I finally got there. Maybe it started on Thursday when I made a list of all the things I wanted to do if I want wasting my time on social media. I've made a list like that in a previous post but perhaps pen to paper helped my brain.
For the last few week I've been posting quite a bit on stories and my feed.
The things that helped me crash out last night were I've been sharing and others don't. Isn't that the point? Next, I felt disgust using my kids as content. I stopped posting their faces but started again. Third, I was trying to read my book, but went to check one thing and fell into doom scrolling. I went down wasteful rabbit holes and stayed up later than I ever want to.
It wasn't only the scrolling that was the problem. My brain is always thinking about content to post. Even today I had enough dinner shots to do my TikTok what's for dinner series but I didn't re-download the app to post. I do feel a little sad I'll miss the videos my husband sends but maybe I'll check messages periodically. I also have a very active friend group chat on IG. I've tried moving it to text but it always reverts back because one friend sends a lot of Reels. I'll check that periodically on a browser but sometimes it's nonsense so I'll be fine.
Today has been good. I watched a show while I cooked. I listened to several albums while I washed dishes. I really needed to catch up on my mess. I spent some time on VSCO sharing tulip festival photos. On the list of what I'd do without social media was use my DSLR more. I made dinner and took it to my mom and gramps. Took care of the chickens and noticed one of the rooster needed some major care. I played with my kids. I read.
