The fact that you allready compare to others without social media, is sad enough. Be happy with what you got in the first place, and work your way up. Your heart is not beating for others you know. 😉

I decided to consciously keep in touch with my friends during social distancing (through text, phone calls or facetime) and I came to realise how superficial Instagram can be. Yeah, I know what's up in people's lives but how many of them would reach out to me personally and vice versa?

I ever never use insta . I don't wanna know about others personal life. If we on insta our mind defenetly compare with anyone's life it's nature. Only think about our life . self care isn't selfish. Life is beautiful travel with your goals. You don't wanna know people about what you're doing.

What if we did a blackout ? Like, everyone just decided to tune out. Maybe for a month. Maybe a year. Could we? Would we all be happier?
