Alright you guys, I’m sorry if this post is triggering for you BUT I have to get it off my chest. I absolutely LOATHE social media these days. I literally go on, post what I want too and then scroll through a few of my favorite accounts, check in with whoever I know that pops up with a new story and then I’m out pretty quickly.

And the reason is this, for me SOCIAL MEDIA IS SUPPOSED TO BE FUN! It’s not meant to be a fucking political news channel where everyone feels entitled to shove their propaganda and/or beliefs down your throat. I can’t tell you how many people I’ve muted (its 147 of you to be exact) over the past couple of months because I just cant take the ignorant or constant posts revolving around such negative topics. I truly feel it’s a recipe for disaster and it’s no reason we’re the most depressed and angry generation for probably (and hopefully for all of our children sakes) the rest of time.

I get that we all like to be real loud and real proud but I just don’t know if this war so many of you are raging behind a screen really makes sense? And so instantly too. I’ve always been a researcher and really from any side or angle on anything, there’s no way you can know with absolute certainty the full situation after seeing a 30 second video going viral on TikTok. And by the way- algorithms are a real thing and you’re being showed very specific things FOR A REASON. Just something to think about.

Anyway, really if I wanted to be fed constant sadness or angry people, I’d turn on the news. I don’t watch that shit for a reason and I open Instagram to be fueled creatively, to laugh at things, and to catch up with friends and family. Not to feel like I’m in a town hall war between everyone I know.

SO respectively- this is my thank you to everyone I know that does not feel the need to post about such things and/or make it your whole personality. In my book (if it matters), you’re winning. And to anyone who has and is feeling attacked right about now, I’m sorry but I’m not really sorry? I just think there’s better ways to “fight for a cause” that isn’t posting and reposting thousands of memes and edited videos of something without any research and or true context? On either side by the way. Idk, maybe someone should come up with an app where that’s what it’s all about and then everyone can go there to do that sort of thing? Or we need a feature on Instagram where maybe we can select that we don’t want to see anything political and it can filter out that sort of thing itself? Someone help a girl out!!!

In summary, can’t we all just go back to using Instagram as our personal little photo album and bring lightness and happiness back into the world? My favorite account to go on right now is actually my blog instagram because the algorithm there is pure Disney and party decor content, untouched by basically anything else because to be honest, the algorithm does not have anything else to go off. It’s top tier and hopefully once this wave of political madness dies down, I can’t wait to get on my real instagram again to try to rewire the algorithm there lol.

Anyway, that’s my two cents on the matter.

Happy Friday! I hope everyone has a great weekend!
