two weeks of spacehey??

i guess i'm documenting this weekly now? i'm posting this today instead of tomorrow, sheerly just because i'm going out tomorrow and i wanna do this a day early instead of a day late.

second week of spacehey has been much of the same ON the site itself. however, i will note that outside of the site, i've taken some drastic measures. i've been doing a ton of research in regards to removing yourself from social media and how to get back into hobbies, and i've found it pretty helpful in regards to how i wanna do this moving forward.

i lost a significant tether to most of my social media, so i downloaded a blocking app for my phone to give me a solid time limit. it's called screenzen, and it works a LOT better than the built-in screen time feature on most apple devices (allows you to delay the app opening, you can set it so that you have to give a reason for opening your app, among many other very helpful features). this is only my second day using it, and my first full day with it installed, and i've felt myself doing a lot more than just scrolling on my phone.

i'm on pinterest more often than not, looking up stuff for crochet projects or looking at outfit inspiration (seriously, it's useful as someone who doesn't wanna repeat the same outfit type every single time i go out)

on top of that, i got back into practicing my bass, and i've already learned a couple of songs in full (easier ones because i'm still a beginner, but still). i'm also reading before i go to bed instead of scrolling through reels or my friends' stories, which is something i haven't done in a VERY long time.

if anything, i'm mainly using my phone to look up bass tabs or for music, it's like an mp3 player with useless shit on it that i've locked myself out of. i WILL get an mp3 player at some point (probably one of those modded ipods with the extended battery life and expanded storage), but my phone works that purpose just fine for now

i feel like i'm finally returning to my roots when it comes to my social media consumption. i really only use tumblr or this site, and i'm watching long-form content on youtube instead of watching stuff on my phone that's maybe 30 seconds long. it feels good, i feel better than i have in a WHILE.

so yeah, that's the update. if you haven't stopped using your social media accounts, i highly recommend it :)
