i’m deleting my social media: not that you needed to know

for some time now, social media has felt less like inspiration, and more like unproductive comparison. 

and by social media, i mean the more interactive ones: like instagram, facebook, tiktok, twitter, snapchat, tumblr, whatsapp, linkedin, even youtube.

so more correctly, i should say: i’m minimizing my online presence to mostly this corner. so my facebook, instagram, and twitter…? they gotta go. i’d release my tumblr too only if i remembered my account.

i’ve been on social media since the age of myspace. i was maybe 17. existing online felt a whole lot simpler then.

i learned at 27, you’re a reflection of my innergy, transmuting moments into stories i wish you wouldn’t tell so publicly about what i’d been consuming…

from projections to propaganda, products, to produce; keeping receipts on how unintentional i’d been with my mind, my body.

checkin’ me till eye can’t ignore.

i learned at 29, when i decided to let you be, to expand, bend, and break as you please, i’m still unlearning.
