social media used to be so much more meaningful and personal. like, remember myspace? copying html codes to change your theme. choosing your profile song for your page. changing colors and fonts and and updating your mood status. the blinkies??? it was truly the time to be alive. we quite literally have the world at our fingertips yet we choose to spend all of our time on the same few absolutely garbage social sites.

​

after being off of instagram for a month in 2022, i can confidently say that that platform pretty much freaking sucks and what it's doing to us as a society could be detrimental. we are constantly being bombarded with ads and paid promotions. we follow these "influencers" that are constantly trying to sell us garbage. at times, we can be more worried about everyone else than ourselves. and don't even get me started on the freaking face filters. on a spiritual level, if you're not careful with these platforms they will steal your energy and eventually your soul. wow, that got dark. the current climate of our internet culture is basically "how can i be more liked and accepted?"

​

my question is... how the hell did we get here?
