Deleting Tiktok

I feel like a lot of people are getting off social media recently , or maybe that's just what youtube is recommending to me since I got off xd. I've hated tiktok for a while , so around a week ago I finally deleted it. I think it was mostly Charlie Kirks death that triggered it. I will not share my personal opinion , but I noticed literally everyone but republicans getting silenced , no matter what they were saying , so tiktok just became unusable for me during that time. In general , the algorithm was just really bad for me. It was never what I wanted to see and led to me getting bored. I don't understand how people get addicted to this ?? Maybe it's just cause I have ADHD , who knows.

Side note - INSTAGRAM BANNED ME !!! They gave a really random reason and the only way to appeal was to give them a video of me ?? Frickin' weird. I emailed them saying that I am a minor and do not want to give my face , and obviously a multi billion dollar company can't respond to emails , wayyy to much work. I think I was just banned cause I repost a shit ton of politics and lizard man doesn't like that.

Anyway , what has been different ? Deleting tiktok has caused a domino affect for me, youtube has been recommending much better video essays to me that have inspired most my actions I'm about to list. I bought a mp3 player just today cause spotify really sucks , I'm gonna start uploading songs to it once I'm done writing this , maybe I'll write about it later on lol. I've started trying to gain weight again , which I had stopped a few months ago because so many people in my life were calling me weird for wanting to gain weight and then I'd go on tiktok and see the same things ._. I've made this blog xd ! Everyone keeps telling me to journal but I'm terrible at keeping track of that , sooo why not go scream on the internet where its forever on my footprint . . !

As a kid I was so creative , I would just effortlessly think up stories 'n shit, I've always missed that. I watched this essay about boredom recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BImKhRGmHLE and it's mainly what inspired me to actually write this blog. Surprisingly , deleting tiktok has made me less bored. No , It hasn't solved my creativity problem , 'cause that's not something that'll fix itself. I made some pins the other day ! Pretty regular thing to me , but I'm hoping I can work up from that to enjoying doing other stuff again like writing stories or drawing.


. . . also what the hell is going on with this rapture stuff ?? 😭

lowk mp3s are game changers. Companies need to bring them back because if y2k fashion has been coming back then why not the tech too? its been so useful to me ever since the phone ban in my school! :D
