ALRIGHT so I’ve been on a social media break for about 2 weeks now. No schedule, no platforms no nothing and HOLY SHIT has it been nice. I feel like my love for writing is coming back. I’m feeling creative again.
I’ve been able to do whatever I want. My schedule for art always took away any free time I’d normally have. It was affecting my schooling and my mental health.
Taking this break has caused me to stop forcing myself to draw everyday and it’s so nice. Like BRUH I’ve been playing games like crazy. Since I have so much free time. I finished Sally Face, Yandere Simulator and Layers of Fear (1). I’ve been pulling all nighters for Stardew Valley, Terraria and Minecraft. And I’m actually feeling relaxed.
I’m lucky enough to not have friends (because I hate people) so I’m not even worrying about them.
My point being, take a break when you need it for as long as you need. Stress is a dangerous thing. So don’t push yourself. If you can’t handle your schedule anymore, or social media dragging you down, or never having free time just stop. Take a break, a real break. You deserve it. Even if it’s just a day. Put your phone down, and do what makes you truly happy.
