how deleting social media changed my life

i deleted social media 3 years ago and it was one of the best decisions of my life! getting control of my relationship with social media was an absolute journey but WOW am i glad i made the change – life is more peaceful, intentional, and filled with deep/meaningful connections rather than surface-level/fake friends and stimulation. if you’re exploring this decision for yourself… come on in, the water’s fine 🙂 chapters below

I deleted Social Media and here’s what I learned

Hey! So 4 months ago I deleted Social Media and as someone who gained a platform on tiktok, this was one of the hardest things I had to do.

I have re-downloaded instagram for my gaming channel: https://www.youtube.com/@UCwH6kG5gWM_nmv5pgiaa18A

However I am still unsure on when or if I will ever redownload tiktok.
In this video I share my own experience with social media and the reasons why deleting it might be beneficial to you.

I have been working on starting up my etsy shop to sell cute necklaces and jewelry! You can find that here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/etchedcreatez

one year off social media, an update

Social Media was at one point an essential part of my life, so quitting was something I never imagined I’d do. However, about more than year ago I decided to delete most of my social platforms for the sake of my sanity lol. Although the process has come with its fair share of ups and down, I wouldn’t have changed a thing.

Hopefully this video helps you out a if youre looking to do the same, all the best!! Love ya

i quit social media, and it was the best decision of my life

Social Media has been a part of my daily routine for 10 years of my life, but earlier last year i’ve decided to dial it down a bit and quit instagram, one of most used platforms. Fast forward to the end of last year I permanently deleted twitter, my favourite and most beloved social media account. When i realized how much weight that had lifted off my shoulders I decided to go full force and completely off all of my accounts. Its a decision that to this day i do not regret:) !!

hopefully this video helps you out a but if you’re in the same boat, it’ll be tough, but its definitely worth it!
