phone cleanse and detox
i wanna say 1-2 times a year, i go through everyone i follow in my socials and unfollow anyone who i dont gaf about. and it reveals a lot about how ive changed and grown as a person. i unfollowed a lot of people from high school and it made me feel like a bad person, but there was just no reason to follow them. don’t wish ill will to anyone, just don’t gaf and i also changed my phone aesthetic and i enjoy looking at something new :) now i need to go through almost 9k photos…

I want to unfollow people, but I don’t have the will or courage to do it. 😭 I've been detoxing from my phone by turning it into a sort of "dumb phone"—minimizing apps and setting my home screen to grayscale. Hopefully, this helps me use it less and avoid doom-scrolling.

i found myself overwhelmed and sick of social media too
i recently began to ask myself why am i using all these apps and do i really need all of them, and i started realizing that the things i’ll miss out with these apps is so much more than without them, i knew i had the idea that my worth was tied to my online presence and i’m happy that i’m getting rid of that mentality.. i had so many memories in my snapchat account but i ended up deleting the account and the app because if i didn't do it than i may never, later that day i removed my twitter accounts and the app from my phone and i’m so glad i did, and i replaced them with healthier and less time consuming apps till i decrease my screen time gradually

Follow -100 people on social media
It's so freeing having only 10 people in your following list. I only follow so many people bc it's only friends or family (I have so many friends >.<) I regularly declutter every social media I have, it's almost meditating for me

friends’ kid photos
a couple of my friends shared some photos from their childhood and high schools days and i started sobbing…like really hard. this was all over text thankfully what got me was being able to see their facial features in their childhood photos and now every time i look at them i think of them as a little baby and i think about how much i want to hold them and. ugh. i might cry again

phone, wallet, keys, airpods
i keep as little on me as humanly possible, which has resulted in my downfall haha. though i am a student so i also carry a backpack with me, which other than my laptop, hard drive, journals, and writing utensils, is mostly trash. i appreciate a pair of pants with deep pockets oh, also occasionally some 🍃
