It feels like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I didn't realize how hell-bent I was for the dopamine that Instagram provided. Even as I made my final post, I caught myself getting excited to see the reactions of people to me quitting. It's really unhealthy and I'm glad I got rid of it.
I'm a little drunk so sorry if this sounds incoherent. It feels like now I can connect with my fellow man, and actually be a part of the world -- if not by my own volition then by force of necessity. No longer will I have a crutch to rely on when I'm at a party, or I'm bored, etc.
It's going to feel great not having to watch stories comparing myself to people, placing crushes on a pedestal, and watching everyone's highlight reel from the sidelines.
After I deleted Instagram I walked to get some pizza. A light rain started coming down and I can't describe it but it's the most euphoric I've felt in a long time. I feel like I could have broke out in tears if I wanted to.
Idk how much music is discussed on here, but the song "Content Nasuea" by Parquet Courts really influenced my decision. I feel like /r/simpleliving would really appreciate the lyrics.
