I couldn’t agree with this more! And I am SO GLAD I read this today because I woke up and started scrolling on TikTok as it was a source of inspiration and entertainment for me. But today, it made me feel anxious. My feed was highly political and full of content that screamed “wake up and be afraid” - definitely NOT the algorithm I curated based on what I liked and didn’t like. So I got off of it and focused on some self care. Even went on Lemon 8 and posted content on there about some accessories I use for planning before scrolling through that looking for other spread ideas to inspire me. Because THAT is what I use social media for. Inspiration, genuine connections, and sometimes even entertainment. And becoming aware of how my time on social media affects my mood and mental health has been a game changer for me! Beautiful and powerful post babe!

I'm so glad it resonated - and 100% agree that social media can be an inspiring place if we choose to make it one!
