I deleted/deactivated all my social media. It’s been a month, hope to continue that. Not going to lie, this is the happiest that I have been in a long time.

I never blamed them. Was on them too much and always comparing myself to others. Not good to do that.

I want to do this but what do you do with the time you gained back? What is an activity you picked up since? I already make time to workout, have a side hustle (could allocate more time to this), and not too interested in dating right now. What can I really gain?

Same! On week 4 and idk how I had time for social media before. Also don’t miss it other than an occasional FOMO of updates from people I care about

What did you gain though? Like I want to do it but don’t know what’s so great about it. What do you do with the free time you used to waste. Is it the peace of mind of being disconnected.

I did this too! Quite honestly the best decision. The comparisons I was noticing I was making out loud and within my head were outrageous. It’s kinda nice just focusing on you for a little bit without comparing to other people. Who woulda thought.
