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.

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

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!

March 26th, 2021: The day I deleted social media for good. However, it’s been a long process and as a Gen Z who grew up on the internet and I wanted to share the process with you. Social media is not all bad, but I think it’s more important than ever (after 1 year of being inside) to take a break from TikTok, Instagram and Facebook.
