trolliolies

For the past couple weeks I've been on a social media "cleanse" and it has taught me a lot. We are always told that we need to put down our devices and disconnect from the world once in a while, but people rarely do it. I always wanted to take a break from my social media, but there was something stopping me. When I finally made the decision and deleted all my social media off my phone it was strange. I was so used to pulling out my phone anytime a thought popped into my head or something happened. I was accustomed to filling my time scrolling through vine threads on twitter instead of doing something useful like homework or reading. It didn't take long for me to disengage, though partly because I know I've never actually been attached to my phone like so many people today. One thing I have noticed over the past couple of weeks is that when I stopped cramming my brain with a constant streams of information, I was able to become more aware of my thoughts and think a little clearer. Although I miss my friends weird snapchats and ranting about life on my spam account, I will continue using social media only to send streaks and to have conversations... and maybe watch a couple more vine threads.
