what i love about this app

i don’t want to add multiple photos because i love how simple and light the feed is and i’d hate to see it turn into another overwhelming social media space, i also like the fact that i can’t see numbers on here, no one is bragging about their followers number or waiting for someone to follow them back because there’s nothing to track that with.. i love everything on here except for how slow it is to respond most of the time but it’s not that big of a deal i feel like we really need to slow down and stop excessively scrolling

i love this app

i open it, wait for it to load (delayed gratification), swipe the top refs, like them, check out the accounts their from, might follow, see what the people i follow are posting, search up new music or something random (all on my own accord, no algorithm, no doomscrolling) find something actually cool that i bookmark/add to a list to check out (which i do check out), either leave the app satisfied or make a silly little post and then leave the app with no urge to keep scrolling or looking, happy with my time spent

Deleting instagram, even if it’s just for a little while.

i’m definitely not the first person here to make a rec about this, but my tired brain is truly rejoicing. i have a very hard time completely leaving it since i communicate and share creative work through the app, but i think i’ve decided i will only be on it once a week or when i need/want to post. that’s all. as an already anxious person, seeing the same anxiety-inducing general information (as in something i could easily find on google or a news app) be reposted by 20+ people on their stories has become HELL, especially these last few weeks. not only that, but the constant push of personal opinions about such matters (even if i agree with them) just seems to warp your perception of people. maybe i’m just a wimp, but i don’t think humans were meant to see each other in such a way; we’re not so flashy and impulsive face to face. add the endless scrolling onto that, and it’s downright exhausting and kills productivity. there is so much more dimension and depth to humans and life than what is said or done or seen through this screen. can we please go back to flip phones?

Treat the year as an experiment

Just saying yes to everything and going for it under the guide that this is my one year experiment with no repercussions to see how my life will change when I actually do the things I want to.

Mamma mia

It perfectly encapsulates the nostalgia of what summer always feels like it’s going to be, but somehow never is, in the depths of winter. Even if you hate musicals, it’s a must watch just for how feel-good it is. Especially if you are a woman, the mother and daughter storyline is just the right amount of heart-tugging to bring depth to the sunlit, giddy, and earworm-inducing songs and scenes of the film. I love a profound, intellectual movie as much as the next person, but when the world feels too serious (as it often does), it’s time to pop on Mamma Mia.

Community, Derry Girls, Schitts Creek, Glow

My all time greats. So funny, heartwarming, and quirky. The jokes don’t feel tired to me as many other comedies do. Enough character development and drama to where you really feel invested, but still light-hearted and enjoyable. I find that so much media nowadays is incredibly profound and interesting, but just so damn depressing or uncomfortable that it’s hard to watch. I’m not usually a tv watcher because of this, but these are all hits for me.
