I Quit Social Media for 30 Days: Here’s What Happened
Friends, I finally found the courage to take a 30-day break from social media. And let me tell you, it was one wild ride full of twists, turns, and hilarious misadventures!
At first, I panicked.
How would I get my fix of cute puppy pics and epic food porn?
How would I fiercely clap back at random trolls without Twitter?

But after white-knuckling through the first few days, I started to feel…lighter, you know?
Not comparing my ho-hum life to the glam highlight reels of others did wonders for my self-esteem.
Who would have thunk?
Now, don’t get me wrong.
My willpower shrivelled like a prune in the desert at times.
When my fingers slipped, I may have “accidentally” liked a few Insta posts. Hey, quitting cold turkey is tough!
While I got more quality time with my toilet, thanks to the lack of entertainment, I shockingly observed the world around me.
Get this — I even had honest conversations with humans! No emoji decoding is needed. Growth!
Though my 30 days of solitude have ended, I won’t be diving back into the deep end of social media addiction.
Everything in moderation, I say! But let’s be honest — I’ll need to ease back into my regular schedule of digital validation and mindless scrolling.
A girl’s gotta get her fix!
Was it all worth it?
Abso-freaking-lutely.
I reset my relationship with technology and realized life shouldn’t be an endless photoshoot. But enough about me — how have you balanced social media and real life lately?
