HIGHLY RECOMMEND DELETING ALL YOUR PICTURES IN YOUR PHONE

I deleted like 5,000 pictures and most of them were screenshots and like random videos of spiders?? I posted the ones I felt held emotional value to my tumblr with explanations and it was only like 10 pictures and honestly that says a lot I did this like two weeks ago and these are the only pictures I’ve kept since then!!! It really makes you wonder why you’re so attached to the past and makes you be more intentional with what you save!!!

@KORILAKKUMA I sent all the ones that held great memories with certain people to those people so they still exist in the world <333 don’t fret! But I had sooo many from past versions of myself and so many pics that reminded me of dark times and I needed an EXTREME CLEANSE

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 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
