SARAH! Omg, I could have written pretty much every word of this ESPECIALLY the part about IG being a blend of friends and family and also people in your audience. Oh and also the pressure to say just the right thing about every world event. I started resenting Insta so much, it made me physically ill. I was off there for almost all of 2024 and honestly, I didn’t miss it at ALL but I think that just reflects how OVER IT I was.
Meg, thank you so much - I'm new here to Substack so just getting a comment from a friendly face made my day. And I'm so glad to know we're feeling similarly about this. xo
After 18 years, I removed the app from my phone on Dec.31. I’m 2 weeks in & feel far less noise in my mind & soul now. Never anticipated I’d do this. Now, it’s real life conversations, texts, meet ups, reading books, taking walks, news on actual websites & substack for me!
