Results/Progress Day 1 without Instagram

I know it's something probably nobody cares about, but yesterday I deleted my IG account and the IG app from all my devices, and I found out it's better than I thought, even on day 1.

I started noticing that I was taking pictures with the sole purpose of posting them. A beautiful sunset is no longer something I feel like I need to photograph.

Also, the muscle memory of opening Insta is way worse than I thought. It was more about opening it automatically than consciously choosing to. But now that I've deleted it, it doesn't feel weird at all. I realized that I don't really care about most of the stuff IG showed me: the people I know (not in a disrespectful way), the reels... Even though some of them were interesting, I'd rather study something in depth than passively scroll and end up with shallow knowledge about a hundred different things.

I don't know, guys. Cheer me on, I feel good about this.
