Purging

How do you manage screen time for yourself?

This is a topic that has been on my mind a lot lately. How much time I spend on my phone, scrolling endlessly, and for what? Hidden agendas, mysterious answers, and wondrous stories of others. What am I looking for? Why am I spending time scrolling through others lives instead of living my own?

I think it’s used as a form of escape. Don’t have to think about anything in particular, just scrolling and feeling stimulation of what is going on in the virtual world. Living vicariously through watching others do what I would like to, then put the phone down and ask why? Is that the problem? Constantly coveting what others have or do. Can one truly live vicariously through another without the feeling of jealousy?

To be honest, all that I think about as reasons why I shouldn’t be scrolling should be reason enough to purge myself of social media. Time to unplug and focus on my life. Bettering myself and my story. No need for outside validation that rarely comes anyway. If someone wants to see or is wondering what I’m doing, come see or call me.
