All of it , Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram. A constant anxiety ridden app on our phones that we care so much about. I was constantly comparing my life to others. Constantly looking for reassurance from people I don't even talk to. Comparing myself to the next girls selfie and wondering if my boyfriend could do better than me. Seeing a like as having so much significance in my life. It took me a long time to realize what the main reason was that I wanted to quit social media. I wanted to stop trying to show off my relationship for people to see. I wanted to stop posting the prettiest selfie to get likes to confirm that I am beautiful. I wanted to live my life happily without anyone's opinion. Now I can take pictures and put them in a photo album for memories. Now I can have discussions with people about news because I haven't already seen it all over my timeline. Now I can hear my boyfriend call me beautiful and not compare myself to the girls getting 1000s of likes on Instagram. I can finally live for myself and make myself happy without relying on others to do it for me. This was the smartest and best decision I have ever made in my life.
