hey gang, ive been thinking over the last few days about the advent of social media and why we care so much about it, and its importance on society. i dont think it matters as much as people make it out to be, honestly. im not going to lie and say i dont see the impact its has on people but with that being said there are a million problems that come along with it, the most notable one is how sucked in we are. i used to spend hours and hours on end browsing instagram when im bored but as time passes, the more content i saw either made me enraged, upset or miserable to even be awake and thats when everything kinda clicked for me. i hate this lol, i genuinely hate going on instagram, yes theres funny stuff but its a dime in a dozen so i dont think the odds are really worth it. i wanna be tapped out of everything period, i dont wanna sound like a dork but i dont like keeping up with trends nor do i really understand them. i remember when skibidi toilet happened i was really dismissive of it but slowly overtime i realized people back when i was growing up had the same stuff so i really didnt mind it. thats really the last thing i can stand, plus gmod animations in the current days is good. i think what the breaking point as of late is when i started getting videos that were literally word vomit that i couldn't understand or had the energy to care enough about, that and whatever that new thing is w that one girl, i saw it pop up on ig and had no idea what anyone was talking about and didnt care to look into that either. i think after that i realized theres so much more to life than this, you really dont think about how beautiful life is until you experience it lol. i started writing down every thought down in my notes app rather than posting it on instagram stories and im gonna start using instagram solely for kpop. i kind of wanna make a version of instagram thats JUST the following, i dont think it exists and i have like 0 experience in that stuff but i feel itd benefit people a lot.
actually i stopped mid writing to see if i can do a browser version of instagram with an extension to download photos and it works perfectly. thats honestly relieving i cant lie. i can still get the posts i wanna see without interacting with ANY other aspect of social media. okay back to not getting distracted, i feel like blogging is the only "real" social media that means something. the way people talk about the things they like longform is really appealing to me, mostly because i love to ramble. i like the way i can just write and all that jazz, feels freeing. im all for people talking about stuff like that, and finding friends naturally about it. all my closest friends have been naturally. work, college, the whole shebang. i appreciate that so much. i think the fear of missing out on what your friends is a big problem but if you really wanna know you could just reach out to them. theres a lot of freeing alternatives to music out there as well, such as downloading your own music. i wish i had more to say right now but i dont lol, i just have a lot to say and want to say more but thats life.
