Diaz y Noches

It’s been about 3 weeks since I’ve deleted my social media apps and it’s felt both so long and not long at all.

I find myself reaching for my phone during lulls and when I open my phone, I don’t know what to look for anymore. It’s so weird!

Every now and then I wonder if I should reinstall Instagram and cancel my deletion request. “Why am I really doing this?” I think to myself. And I have to pause and remind myself of my reasons.

• To not support Musk, Zuckerberg, or Trump
• To limit mindless doom-scrolling
• To preserve my mental health
• To encourage actual IRL socializing

Gotta be honest – sometimes my brain says “ppffft who cares” and fights me over how invested I am on this. I mean, it’s definitely easier to just give in to the call of the wild web. But – I want to be a better person? Or at least feel better about myself?
