I think I am just done. Ever been in a relationship that is just bad? You pour everything you have into it, and you get absolutely nothing back. It's all take take take.
Well i'm done. I think I just need a week, I need a break OK. I just can't do this anymore. *cries*
I feel like I have been the biggest defender of Instagram this past year, I have stood against them through the romours, the drama over shadow bans, all this time I have been an advocate sure they were doing it all to help us, but now I think I am ready to say I'm done, I'm done making excuses for their sh*tty behaviour.
I have spent so long looking over hashtags, commenting, making sure I am posting the right kind of content, editing, themes, the time and energy I put into instagram is probably equal to the amount of time I spend on my blog.
Then there is the pods. I love the pods, I love the girls, but they are hard work to keep on top of, and as much as I love the interaction I'm not sure it is helping at the moment.
This latest round of doubt with instagram is the hack they had last week. Myself and quite a few others were locked out of their accounts and forced to reset, our accounts were deactivated and reactivated, with this we seem to have lost the exposure when we post, so posts are taking longer to reach the top of the feed.... its confusing, I'm confused even saying it, but I think I just need to NOT THINK about it for a week. I need a week just to be me and revaluate what I want from IG.
I want to have a week of posting what I want, when I want, and not doing the pods... I might even go a few days without posting... I'm undecided, but I think I need a week off to see what the difference will be?
If you see me on IG give my pictures a quick like and comment, and you can make sure you are following me here :)

I've literally just come from another post which was advocating for falling back in love with Instagram but I know what you mean! I was constantly on the app all the time yet most days I'll only go on once for a long scroll since the algorithm has made it pretty hard to have a 'quick look' without losing your place completely. Hope your break can give you a bit of clarity over what you want from IG!
