These pictures I take are for myself and my few close friends because at the end of the day, half of the followers on IG are probably acquaintances or strangers you don’t care about anyway.
I still enjoy taking photos, but without the pressure of having to make it seem like a perfect, #goals, type of moment. Not having Instagram has really helped me live in the moment. If I want to share a memory, I do so by sending pictures to group chats or one-on-one. And if someone wants to reach me and see how I’m doing, they will by calling or texting. I’m in college and all of my classmates connect through Instagram or Snapchat, and even then, I’m not really missing out because I can just text the few good friends I have. It was difficult to quit cold turkey at first, but now I would never go back because I really don’t see the point of it. It only temporarily fuels my ego and nothing more. Then I realized, all of that crap means absolutely nothing. I use to care so much about followers and like count, it was ridiculous. Every time I use to be on it for hours and hours, I would feel physically sick and get a migraine for staring at a screen for so long. I was heartbroken and knew that nothing good really comes from scrolling mindlessly through IG anyway.
