I’ve been using Instagram since 2010(ish) and it pains me to have been through it all and never have had a following or gone viral. I’ve just consumed and consumed for 15 years. And now I have a 3 year old. It was fun when I was breast feeding and now the addiction is so profound. I’m taking a break from socials for Lent. We will see what it brings. I’m a creative person that craves connection so it’s fun to, but when no one is noticing it’s not worth it. Why did I curate or extensively document this moment for no one to even notice it. Your perspective helps me see that even with the fame it isnt worth it.

Madi, this is wonderful. I feel like I needed to read something like this not for my Instagram use, but more so for my Substack use. So convicting and true.
