I get so scared to post content in my own content on there for some reason. I only post on there to promote my designs or DJ gigs but like...... I wanna vomit at the thought of some random acquaintance from college seeing me post some graphic design work. why am I like this???? also this is so this post is so tumblr emo high school text post coded

Intentionally fine tuning your algorithms

I decided to shift to using my main instagram account to exclusively browse and engage with other music related accounts. So I made a second private finsta and I’ve just been sending anything in my feed that isn’t music there and unfollowing from the music account. Meanwhile on the new account, I’m telling every single reel it shows me whether it interests me or not. Already, I’m seeing less celebrity worship or cosmetic surgery content or clickbaity stuff etc etc that I otherwise might have just mindlessly engaged with despite not caring about and not wanting to see more of. I feel weirdly empowered for the first time ever to shape my social media experience rather than simply attempt to avoid altogether this thing that makes me feel like my brain is rotting. And another upside is that my music account seems to be getting more engagement from accounts that don’t already follow me on the music related content that I post. Wish I’d done this a long time ago, I feel like it’s what a lot of artists already were doing but I stubbornly wanted to keep everything in one place for so long. I don’t think I’ll post to the other one at all I just want to be able to look at like memes and recipes and visual art without confusing the algorithm of what’s intended to be a professional account . I’ll prolly still steal and then post said memes on the ”professional” account tho because that’s just the kind of professionalism I exhibit in my important work as a DIY musician.

Deleted my finsta

Honestly, it feels kinda liberating 🧘‍♀️ Most of the people I had on there were my high school friends. Ever since I moved to a different country for uni, we’ve naturally drifted apart. We don’t really keep in touch anymore, whether it’s video calls, texting, or anything else. I kept it for so long because I thought it would be nice to see what my high school friends were up to and maybe update them on my life too. But after some serious journaling and being honest with myself, I realised there’s really no point in holding on to it anymore. I was keeping it around to give myself a sense of false hope—hoping that one day we’d reconnect and things would go back to how they were. But deep down, I know the chances of that are pretty slim. We’ve all moved on and grown in different directions, and that’s okay.

consistency

u gotta just show up at the same places consistently. if someone sees u at a place long enough they'll either end up talking to u or u'll talk to them by virtue of just occupying the space. this can apply to almost anything so like the gym, dance classes, art studios, cafes, bars, clubs, book clubs, town hall meetings, etc personally, ive been going to the same rock climbing gym and even though i suck at it (and im really really bad at it) ive met a couple of rlly cool ppl from there. but yeah its much easier said than done, bc life can get in the way of that consistency. but if u rlly try at it i think u can meet some cool folks.
