Drained

Social media has taken over

It's so exhausting to wake up every morning and ask myself what I'm going to post on instagram today. Or what am I going to post on twitter today? Am I going to post a selfie on Snapchat, or go out and post a picture to show everyone I do things when really I just stay at home in bed or work all day. I noticed social media is way more toxic then it is fun and exiting and making it yours. Why do we feel the need to let everyone know what's going on with our lives 24/7? I shouldn't have to let people know about my highs and lows. They shouldn't know where I work and when I got hired or when I left. Not only that but people are ruthless on the internet. I haven't posted to Facebook other than time hops since maybe the 8th grade (roughly) but I just wanted to say, for whatever reason, that I'm just now realizing that social media is not worth it. Not worth me waking up every morning wandering what everyone is doing with their lives. I shouldn't care. I have my own life to live and focus on. I shouldn't be fixated on everyone's goals, or setbacks. I have wanted, up until now, to make sure everyone knew just how good I was doing. If someone treated me wrong, I made it a priority to let them see me doing great. So saying that, I just need to focus on what God hands me in life and follow his path for me. It's time to let go of high school things officially. So I'm saying goodbye to social media. Most of all twitter. I could in the future get Instagram back but it won't be for a while. I feel this is what's best for me right now. It feels so good to have this weight off me because it's been a struggle to not obsess over little things people throw at me on social media. Drama is so toxic and I'm nearly 20 years old and need to get past that.
