Even if they weren't your main friend group in high school!! And even if you haven't seen each other in years!!
Literally just got my hair cut by an old high school friend who I haven't seen in 3 years and it was the most joyful experience to sit and talk with a girl I grew up with and finally know her as a person (and not as some random character in school). You never know who you can build great friendships with until you get to know them for who they are now, rather than the kid they were in high school
(Obviously don't reach out to the bigots or bullies from school if you don't want to; but the good people you remember sometimes? maybe say hello, I promise it won't kill you :))

I just had some convos with middle school friends and it’s crazy how much has changed but it feels really nice to just check in sometimes. Reminds me that everyone’s always around if you’re willing to take the first step

I saw someone I haven't properly spoken to in over a year and still got along with him like we hadn't missed a beat, which was a nice reminder that no matter how much I've changed the person I used to be is still recognisable and lovely

I have to disagree with the people who say that we need to “stay” and “fight“ for IG to be a better platform because in actuality, it’s our presence and engagement that gives them data, and therefore money. As long as they have those 2 things, they make their bottom line and won’t really care about its users desires unless they’re making a move for the optics.
If we REALLY want to hold them accountable, we need to impact the money they make, which means permanently deleting or marking your account as inactive & never coming back. They’ll only care if they’re bleeding money— so make them bleed.

As someone who has terrible object permanence and can NEVER remember the existence of something if I can't see it (this includes objects AND goals), it was quite literally the best way to keep awareness of my long term goals, even when life started falling apart and getting hectic.
At the end of the year I always look at my vision board and realize that I genuinely fulfilled a good majority of the goals on there, and it's so sweet
Always keep your eyes on the prize yall and always dare to dream !!!
