Does Instagram make you feel bad? Okay, well, log off then. We were put on this Earth to Goof Off and Have Fun, and it is well within your power to just ignore shit you don’t like. If you want to care about Shit That Is Important go do it in person.

📱Generally speaking, I wanna reorganize the way I use the internet. I wanna participate and interact with people. I feel like on Instagram I’ve been worrying too much about the mystique I create for myself, like I’m constantly advertising myself. It feels icky and I’m ready to give it up.

😃Instagram is not good for the mind. No duh. But what if it's been your main source of connection for the past 6 years? Everyone's online, everyone's in that group chat you haven't checked in a month, making plans for things you have no idea about, going places you're not invited to.
But is that really the case? Are your friends actually excluding you because you're not on Instagram? No, that's absurd. If they're your friends, which they are, they'll make the attempt to reach out and get you involved in those plans. Maybe it's not always in the most transparent ways but they will ask for you when you're not there. You're not missing anything. You're scrambling to download that answer, to satiate the people-pleasing, FOMO-feeling goblin in your mind, quick to dismiss the progress you've made so far.
Take a deep breath, and just call them. less chances of having your tone misread.

When I was a teenager there was this parking lot between a diner and a Dunkin Donuts that we called “The Parking Lot of Party” because it is where we partied. I love making little mythologies behind things that to everyone outside of our circle is totally inconspicuous. Anyway, last weekend I learned that you can name things in Google Maps, so now this bench by The LA River that I think is funny has my little joke name for it labeled for everyone to see.

🥸Being the main character is hack shit, and really? You ain’t. All the people I see acting like the main character are all like, girls with blonde hair who didn’t hear Sonic Youth until their 20s or guys that that have daydreams about what they’d say as a guest on a podcast. I’m a supporting character. I’m Kramer, not Jerry, and I love it. Who needs a stressful storyline? If I get a storyline it is FUN, and EASY, and most importantly, UNNECESSARY. Most of the time I show up for a few minutes, get my bits in, and peace out. Simply living life.

👱You’d think eventually I’d get used to seeing them, but every single time it’s as if I’ve never seen one before! Bananas.
