loved this! i am happy to hear you found balance, peace and boundaries that work for you. i don’t work in this field but it does seem like there’s a sense of entitlement by followers of 100% visibility into your life 100% of the time (also encouraged by the platform) and i’m sure that is exhausting to try to keep up with. as always, thanks for sharing!

It's an ongoing struggle but always trying to find that balance! Emphasis on encouraged by the platform -- completely agree there. Thank you for reading - appreciate it xx

Love this article! I was just wondering do you think it’s okay for someone not to have an Instagram account or not go on it anymore? Sorry to ask lol but I was thinking of deactivating my account but I am not sure. Xx

100%! I think it’s completely fine to deactivate. I have friends who don’t have social media and admire some of them for it -- depending on what they do with their time instead of course :)

Thank you! I have been thinking about it for months or even just taking a break for a longer time off the platform and not checking it (I know that is silly to say as I am not an influencer or a content creator). I have seen people with massive platforms say they don’t scroll and I was like lol I do or people say they just post and then they are off to do other things and don’t check instagram until later. I was just thinking as someone who uses it to have a look and I was thinking omg I really am spending a lot of time on this platform and other people really don’t. I am overthinking it all as I was like am I going to be missing out or people won’t think that I am up to date on anything. Sorry!! Love this article I keep coming back to read it so many times 😊

I get it! I used to be a chronic scroller! I don’t scroll anymore but it took me a while to get there. I had to create a new account following just a few people to get me to scroll only in there and now I hardly scroll at all :) it takes intention!

This is such a good food for thought especially these days where everyone directs unnecessary pressure to speak up on things. Like, it’s one thing to rightfully use your platform for good but it’s a different thing when others force you to do something.. like most people tend to forget that most of us are still individuals with the different things that occupy our everyday lives

I work in social media and this resonates with me! I enjoy social media both personally and professionally but I'm starting to realise I need more boundaries to find true balance. Xx

Same! I approach it so much differently now and I resent it a lot less when I was so invested in it
