I challenge anyone reading this to disconnect as much as possible, especially from social media. Disconnect from the synthetic excitement, synthetic anger, and synthetic satisfaction. Social networks are designed to drain you and fill the voids in your life with fake interactions that force you to come back for more, by the very nature of them being fake. Reclaim your real life, talk to real living, breathing humans, write real notes in real journals, read real books with margins you can scribble in, look at art that stands inches before you, write real letters that can be saved for life, form real opinions from real life experiences. I have disconnected almost entirely, and I’m never going back. Try it, and you will thank yourself. Then tell everyone else you care about to do the same.
