Bye Social Media

I won’t make this long winded. I decided to fully delete Facebook and Instagram. I know in this day and age it seems like a key thing to have in place, at the very least for my business. I know it may make me look less legitimate, but that is a risk I am willing to take. Why am I doing it? Many reasons, but largely to protect my peace. To some it may seem like willful ignorance perhaps? Regardless, I know this is best for me, my peace, my time, my mental health and so much more. Do I judge anyone that has social media or is on it a lot etc. No, no I do not. Honestly I spent too much time on it. I found myself getting rage bated into commenting on things I don’t actually really care about, I was being bombarded by Trump and MAGA and influencers and entertainers and AI, and I just don’t care about any of that, and it frankly all just made me feel worse about myself. It is also my small way of saying NO to billionaires, in this case Mark Zuckerberg. Yes, there are still a bunch of other places where I put more money in the pockets of billionaires…like Amazon, Google and Microsoft. I’d love to say bye to those too and maybe I will find a way. I use Duck Duck Go, for now that is all I can do on that front. Any way, I do think there are positive things that can come from social media, it just isn’t the place for me anymore. Now, can I say with certianty that I will never return, no I can’t. But for now, and frankly hopefully for a long time, goodbye social media. I do hope you understand.. I am hopeful that this will allow me to focus more on things like reading, exercise, art and art therapy.
