I came to the realization that I have spent the majority of my life as half of a couple or longing to be a part of one. This has come at the detriment of self and understanding of who I am as a person and my wants or needs. Social media served as a distraction to keep me from focusing on myself and confronting these issues.

I have decided to undergo a “social death” of sorts.

I am deleting and staying away from all social media for the next year. Rather than compare myself to my peers, celebrities, or strangers, I will focus on my own growth.

I hope to become acquainted with myself and strengthen my sense of self, values, and spirit.
