Virtual Exodus?

 the ICE shooting in Minneapolis happened a week ago. This information crossed my desk, so to speak, because I'm on Instagram and Tumblr. As infuriated as I was to hear that this happened, I did not watch any footage. My nervous system can't handle it.

What I did watch were tens of videos of outraged people on Instagram, each time I absent-mindedly opened the app and doom-scrolled.

 It started to click after a while that I was damaging my mental health.
I deleted my instagram and my tumblr in one fell swoop

 

I feel good about it so far. 

I've been making better use of my time.

 

i'm reading more, especially graphic novels, which are way more exciting than scrolling.

Currently reading: Sandman.

 

I'm also playing video games again!

Playing: Coffee Talk.
