First things first! The writing is exceptional in this one I mean I literally have favorite paragraphs (plural!). Secondly as someone who didn’t grow up with social media or this addiction towards any of it. It’s truly a breath of fresh air to break free from things that once held so much meaning to us but are rather useless when u discover the meaning comes from us. We place meaning on everything and when we tell ourselves ‘this’ or ‘that’ is what we’re “good” at like curating a feed, or capturing our angles for validation from others it’s really a profound moment between looking at yourself and seeing this empty canvas waiting to be painted full of color but you just continue to paint it white. It’s a waste really. Those moments that we tell ourselves are candid because we’re acting the part, I never knew how good I had it until I read this piece Amy. I never understood why my parents didn’t want me to have social media, but now I realize it’s because I’ll always know who I am with or without it. I think you’ve discovered more of yourself than you ever could have expected. And I’m so incredibly proud of you, inspired, and in awe.
