Just got rid of it and Instagram off of my phone 3 days ago. I’m hopeful I can keep up with it. I’m not ashamed to admit it was a crutch for me and I spent entirely too many hours on it. It hit me like a brick when I was in a blind hunting the other night scrolling to kill time. I got into a bit of a transe and looked up and deer were feeding into the field.
I realized I was not paying attention to the thing and time I love most and wasting it mindlessly scrolling. It had to go.
Also - with all the political tension it was making me think less of all the folks who were posting things that don’t align with my opinion. I would get mad about it and realize you know what - without social media, we’d just be friends and this would probably never come up in conversation and I wouldn’t judge someone on political lines but rather the quality of human they are.
