why social media lowkey sucks..

i feel like i have basically all the social media apps but the way i use them is so different now. i had to change the algorithm in my instagram to only show funny silly reels because i only want to use it when i need a laugh (and to text some of my friends ofc) tiktok is probably the worst social media app ever. whenever i'm on it, i always find myself comparing my life to other peoples which ends up with me being really upset and sad. also unsettling things randomly come up in the feed. i know it's the same for many people too who use it a lot, and that's why i've tried to make my own profile a nice and safe space for people who visit it. snapchat is another app i barely touch anymore. it's just very overwhelming for me i don't get how many of the people i know use it.

my favourite positive apps .✦ ݁˖

my number one favourite is pinterest! i've never felt anything but inspired when looking through my boards. it's so useful too for anything you want to look up. the comment section in it is not as toxic as other apps like tiktok and instagram, everyone is so nice. i've also been using medium a lot recently to read articles. it's a great app to feel motivated, productive, and to learn new things. for a non social media app, my favourite is quabble, it's a self care mental health app where you have your own little cute pet duck. the catch is that you have to take care of yourself in real life to keep your little duck healthy and happy in the app. it's so wholesome <3 (edit) how did i forget to mention spotify.. it’s the best music app ever! yesterday me and my friend used the start a jam feature for the first time and it was super duper fun. all music apps need to learn from spotify 🎶

so instead of using apps that use up your energy and make you feel bad about yourself you should consider trying out some of these positive apps. having a blog is also so much more calming :)
