Little did I know that I’d casually open your post and find our lil chat on Notes 💞 Girl, I am glad you’re getting your sun!! Keep doing it, it helps a lot. And suddenly you don’t care about that phone as much ⚔️

I need to do this so badly. Honestly, what is stopping me is that I will lose my drafts and memories but I think the real question is do I want to hold onto the past or move onto something better for my future?

Girl you are poetic. Maybe try deleting just the apps first before the account altogether? I’m super sentimental and love walking down memory lane once in awhile, think our social media archives tell a great story

Proud you've made it through 3 weeks!! I think I've seen some of your progress on notes and commented since I've been off social media a few months now! The part you said about having more free time is sooo real

I love that!! I need to do celebrate my break too!

And I think maybe in a few more months I might make a new account and just follow the 50ish people I actually see regularly and care about. I wish I could scroll their posts without seeing ads mixed in and the temptation of the explore page tho

"The internet used to be a place we physically went on to, now it’s something we can’t seem to escape from" : this is it! Congrats on your undoomscrolling journey, I really want to fight my internet addiction too! I'm scrolling everything I can : social media, news apps, shopping apps, even WhatsApp discussions! So much time wasted and doesn't help with anxiety. Let me try your way!
