Well! I know it sounds crazy but I am addicted to social media. I literally cannot live without Instagram for a single day. From my morning coffee to midnight boredom my phone accompanies me everywhere and so does Instagram and facebook. From my first relationship to my first breakup Instagram has always been by my side. My Punjabi blood motivates me to use it to make others jealous and the beliefs make me wanna be famous. But, the thing is that when I look around I see us all stuck in this world of ours. A world where everything we do is for others and this is driving me crazy. I mean why do we have to click fancy pictures and show off in front of our friends. Why can't we just live a simple life away from social media? I

I sometimes think about how social media has ruined our lives. I literally see people going out to a beach to click the beauty but not to observe it. We no longer have emotions for the things we do. We no longer care about the people who like us. But we care about the likes and comments from the ones who don’t even know us. The thing is that when we are on social media we are not alone. We have our friends, hundreds of messages and thousands of pictures and videos that make us jealous. Everything seems so wrong when we scroll through the perfect life of Instagram travellers, couples and models. I mean it personally makes me feel so bad about myself. Not only this we actually waste a lot of our precious time. We literally spend hours and hours scrolling through our news feed, when we could actually do something productive. I mean there just are so many reasons why I am so sick and tired of social media. It is just so stressful.

I personally have tried getting rid of social media so many times in the past few years. The amount of time I waste on social media just annoys me. I try to leave it so many times. A part of the reason is that I don't want to waste my time and I want to study as much as possible. And Instagram is the perfect distraction. I just can’t remember the times I have uninstalled Instagram from my phone. I mean I had it this morning and now I don’t. But, the question is that does it work?

Well! Here she is using it on safari now. But, I mean if not instagram we all still have facebook or Snapchat. I don't know why but I never really have been a Snapchat person. I find the whole idea of streaks so annoying. I just cannot cope with commitments. Well! that is one of the reasons why I hate social media. It is all so annoying. You just can’t get rid of social media just like your exes. I mean one of the reasons why I don’t want to use Instagram anymore is that you freaking always see your ex around. I mean how many times do we block and unblock them. Well! You may say that you don’t play such games anymore. But, I am pretty sure that you have all done this at some stage of your life. Uploading stories and hiding them from like 159 friends of yours for that one to read. I love this game. Don’t you?

It is a good way to express your feeling without actually conversing with someone. And then they text you and then you reply back and here goes the story again. “Mi Amore, I have a question?”, “How many times!” How many freaking times will you text the same person and go through the same shit and waste your time? It is all just so annoying. So, why don’t you just uninstall Instagram and stay away from it all for some time! I know it won’t work and you possibly will end up logging in your sister's phone or actually will use safari. But, at least you will be trying. Trying to be more focused. Trying to be yourself. Trying to work hard and trying to stay away from Instagram. And that is simply what I am trying to do right now. I am trying not be active on social media. I am trying to be more focused and I am trying to stay away from you. I hope you guys find out a way too.
