“You inspired me to take a recent break off Instagram. I decided to begin the day after Christmas and when that Sunday morning came, my hand twitched towards clicking the app, but I didn’t do it. I’m so grateful I didn’t. And honestly, I didn’t look back for my entire planned time off. I thought the days off would be difficult and I’d cave at some point, but I didn’t. I had zero urge to check in… The week I spent off Instagram I enjoyed those mundane moments you referenced. I watched movies and didn’t spend random minutes scrolling on Instagram, I just watched the movie start to finish. When outside playing with the dogs, I didn’t stop in the quiet moments to scroll, I just watched them sniff and move slow and decided to just be.”
