Honestly, my life hasnt changed much except I am addicted to Reddit now. I still play some games. Still have the same job. I have 2 kids now instead of 1.
But there is this feeling I get. Before, I just had my little world. I had my wife and kid and we'd spend so much time together. Now a days, I feel so tired all the time and all I want to do is veg out on my phone.
But before, I'd get out of work and have energy and spend a lot of time with my family being active. It's like social media drains your energy and it's a vicious cycle. And I'll check Reddit before bed and it really cuts into my sleep. Before, I'd read at least an hour a day. Now, all my reading is bitesized comments on reddit.
I spend a lot of time on Reddit during work and at home. I try to stick to subs that pertain to my hobbies, but even so, I get this story urge to post. I have about 5 accounts that I post on so I don't flood subs with 1 account. It's like I have this need to participate in communities. But before I knew about Reddit, I was perfectly happy and didn't feel this need.
I don't know. Now that I know how BIG the world is online, can I ever go back to my simple, small life? I feel like I spend way too much time on Reddit, just mindlessly.
