Social Media Addiction

Addictions

This week I took a break from social media. By the second day I was going crazy with desire to log in and check what was happening. By day five, I didn’t miss it so much. Now, on day seven, I am logging in to post for the Dorcas Library, but not trying to check anything else going on.

I do not miss the news.

I do not miss the petty arguments between people who should be in accord.

I do not miss pictures of the meals people or constant images of cats.

I do not miss political cartoons.

I do not miss memes.

I kinda miss puns and funny cartoons.

I kinda miss kittens.

I really missed posting my gratitude journal and my nature photos/poetry.

Instead of social media I have been over-streaming articles about art history, photography, psychology, hiking the appalachian trail, meditation, cosplay and costuming. I have followed some message boards that would be better left alone, probably [which is effectively no different than following social media]. Maybe I’ll give that up next week.

What do I want to do with my time instead? 

I want to relax about my life.

I want to write, read, garden, hike, and create.

I want to give and receive love.

I want to adore and be adored.

I want to talk with rocks and trees.

I want to breathe deeply and feel my body take space on the earth, in the air.

I want to live live live.
