I MATTER

Why I Deleted TikTok and Instagram—And What Happened Next

It’s been a year since I deleted TikTok and a month without Instagram. Honestly, the change has been huge. My focus is sharper, I’m not stuck overthinking, and my body image has improved. No more endless doomscrolling—I’ve actually discovered parts of myself I never knew. Real relaxation finally makes sense to me now, and it’s so much better than mindless scrolling. But, I do miss catching new trends and sometimes feel out of the loop with friends. Still, it’s shown me who truly matters. If you’ve ever thought about deleting your socials, just go for it!

Should I actually just delete Facebook 💬💔

What the heck has Facebook become?! All the ads, the random recommendations, the annoying features... I really miss the simple days, like circa 2010, when it was just about connecting with your actual friends. So much cleaner. BUT! At the same time, so many family and friends live far away, and it's still the easiest way to quickly scroll through and see what everyone's up to. And yeah, I'll admit, sometimes catching up on that high school-level drama and gossip is low-key entertaining. I'm so conflicted. #Facebook #SocialMediaDilemma #DigitalDetox #MissingOut #HelpMe #BigDecisions #ModernLife #SocialMediaAddiction #SocialMedia

Nearly 10 Hours in One Day?! Is This Normal? 🤯

This man sensed his wife spent a lot of time on TikTok and decided to playfully ask to see her phone's daily usage report. And wow, talk about a revelation! His initial reaction was a laugh, but that quickly turned to genuine concern. He wasn't upset, just worried. My son is like this too, and we've argued about this several times. Are any of your family members – partners, kids, or even parents – logging similar hours on TikTok? If so, how have you approached it? Or do you believe it's not really an issue that needs intervention? 😂 #ScreenTime #TikTokAddiction #DigitalWellbeing #RelationshipTalk #TechBalance #SocialMedia #FamilyLife #HelpNeeded #DigitalDetox

The Light Was Perfect. I Wasn't.

Spitzingsee at golden hour—every photographer's dream. I spent twenty minutes adjusting my camera, chasing those lens flares bouncing off the water like scattered coins. The shots came out stunning. Alps reflected perfectly, light streaming through my lens just right. But I kept checking my phone between frames, refreshing emails, counting likes on yesterday's post. I was standing in front of one of Bavaria's most beautiful lakes, creating content about being present, while being completely absent. The irony wasn't lost on me—just ignored. The light was doing everything right. I was the broken element in the frame. Sometimes the most honest travel photos are the ones we never take: the anxious photographer behind the perfect shot, trying to convince themselves that beauty alone can fix what's actually wrong. #Travel #TravelTruth #DigitalDetox

Are Dating Apps Killing Real Connections?

Is tech making us miss out on real-life sparks? The 'Summer of Outside' trend is calling out how our phones—and endless swiping—might be shrinking our dating pool and killing the vibe. Imagine ditching the apps for a season and actually meeting people at bookstores, gyms, or even the grocery store. Could unplugging revive authentic connections, or is digital dating just too convenient to quit? #TechCulture #DigitalDetox #DatingDebate #Tech

Curate Your Feed, Curate Your Mind: A Mindful Social Media Tip

I honestly didn’t expect much response to this, but here goes. Recently, I took a closer look at my subreddit subscriptions and realized how much negativity and judgment I was letting into my daily scroll. It’s wild how these feeds can shape our mindset without us even noticing. I noticed some people debating different approaches, which surprised me—especially in a meditation community. At the end of the day, everyone’s path to mindfulness is unique. I’m still new to this journey myself, but I’ve found that trimming out the negativity helps me stay focused. What about you?

Losing Myself to the Scroll: Missing My Old Mind

I hate the fact that I’m fully aware my social media addiction is getting worse, but instead of stopping, I just let it happen. This damn phone has made it impossible for me to read for even an hour, and my memory isn’t what it used to be. When I look back at my old writing, I’m shocked—did I really write that well before? I miss thinking deeply, being creative, and using my brain to its fullest. I feel like I’m getting dumber every day and I don’t know how to break free. Anyone else feel this way? Drop your thoughts below. Let’s talk about it. #MindfulnessJourney #DigitalDetox #SpiritualAwareness #Spirituality

Are Screens Stealing Your Peace? Try a Digital Detox Day

Sometimes, we think scrolling through Netflix, social media, Reddit, or playing video games is relaxing. But have you noticed how restless you feel afterward? I realized I was spending hours staring at screens, thinking I was unwinding, but my mind was actually more anxious. Of course, we need screens for emails and messages, but what if we cut out the mindless scrolling? I tried using screens only when necessary for one day and felt so much lighter. Give it a shot—go for a walk, meditate, or pick up a hobby instead. How do you feel after a screen-free day? Share your experience below! #DigitalDetox #MindfulLiving #SpiritualGrowth #Spirituality

Is Digital Detox the Next Big Tech Flex?

Pinterest’s summer trend report is buzzing with a surprising shift: Gen Z is ditching screens for analog escapes and nature-centric getaways.

Would you trade your devices for a weekend of nature bathing and book club retreats? Let’s debate: is unplugging the ultimate luxury, or just nostalgia in disguise? #DigitalDetox #TechTrends #GenZ #Tech

Letting Go of Social Media for My Mental Health Journey

Today, I finally decided to step back from almost all social media. After years of wrestling with the subtle ways these platforms affect my mind, I hit my breaking point. I deleted Snapchat, disabled Instagram, removed TikTok, and even said goodbye to Tinder, which was the biggest trigger for me. I kept just one alternative Twitter account to stay in touch with someone important, and I trimmed down my Reddit to focus on poetry, meditation, and German. Strangely, Facebook remains a safe space for me. I’m genuinely curious to see how this shift will impact my mental health. Has anyone else tried a digital detox?
