I’ve come to a pretty profound realisation. Finally at 27, I don’t think I want to be on social media anymore.
Yes, it sounds like some teenage crashout from someone struggling with their content, but quite frankly it’s not struggle or addiction that’s keeping me here anymore.
For the first time in my life I actually see it for what it is. A complete waste of time. It’s a beautiful neutral thing on the surface, but it’s being optimised and used for something much darker. Profit, misinformation, war, clickbait, all of it. I’ve genuinely had enough, this is my own personal decision and observation.
And it’s funny because I had ambitions of being a content creator or some kind of personality. When in reality I’ve been wasting days, week in, week out, instead of learning things that actually matter…Skills, knowledge, ideas that genuinely feel real. And whilst I’ve been trying to show the world who I was, I was quietly avoiding parts of myself, checking in on whether not this actually what life should be about.
For the first time ever I feel like I actually understand who I am and what I’m trying to do, without that need most people seem to have to become some kind of public figure or influential voice that’s meant to change something. The truth is I don’t learn anything valuable from social media anymore. Not one thing. Maybe the occasional story or something that keeps me loosely aware of the CULTure, but I don’t want to participate in it anymore.
I want to step away completely. Read, create, write. That’s it.
