at least, thats what im doing right now. i made excuses to stay on them for so long because they kept me up with whats happening in the world, exposed me to really cool sfuff and whatever. even gave myself a timer on tiktok so i couldnt be on for more than thirty minutes, but two days ago i got fed up and just deleted it. im tired of having a background to all my activities so to speak, i want things to be surrounded by void instead so i can actually feel BORED again and thus partake in more activities and feel fulfilled. all this is to say it may also help if you write down or journal about why you want to be off your phone lol, i made the decision to delete my most used app because i had too much time to think about it during a long class and realized its not making my life any better.
Sorry for the rant, i have lowkey also just been wanting to talk about this..

Deleted tiktok and finished three books in a week. I should’ve deleted the app sooner. It’s actually so insane how ingrained tiktok scrolling has been in my daily routine. without the app I was just scrolling through the most random apps ever, then realized like damn this is a problem 😭 I miss it bad but I also don’t need it. Twitter is next 🙏 I need to fill my time with productive and fulfilling activities, no more mindless scrolling ‼️

i recently began to ask myself why am i using all these apps and do i really need all of them, and i started realizing that the things i’ll miss out with these apps is so much more than without them, i knew i had the idea that my worth was tied to my online presence and i’m happy that i’m getting rid of that mentality.. i had so many memories in my snapchat account but i ended up deleting the account and the app because if i didn't do it than i may never, later that day i removed my twitter accounts and the app from my phone and i’m so glad i did, and i replaced them with healthier and less time consuming apps till i decrease my screen time gradually

what do you mean im driving on a road that connects the entire country coast to coast? and by consequence im connected to every single other person driving on it, everybody rushing home or to work, everybody setting off on a road trip, every trucker thats just doing their job and probably not thinking about it. Think of me next time ur on I-40 .......

Bring patios back!! also, there's nothing better than being dead hungry in the middle of a hike and sitting down to demolish a shitty sandwich, which in that moment is the best thing you have ever tasted. the dirt makes it taste better not joking
my favourite time of day is when it’s close to sunset, the birds are chirping, everything’s settling down for the evening, and you’re just enjoying a little meal with your doggo (who’s clearly just here in hopes you give him food.)
