Your irregular reminder that
- Not everything has to be activism all the time
- You are allowed to use the fediverse for fun too
- You don’t need to burn out on every struggle in the world to be a good person
It’s okay to take care of your own mental health and relax.

Social media affect me more than I thought
I've struggled with focus earlier this year. I felt pulled in all directions, overwhelmed by the world, and generally miserable. I decided to abstain from using social media for a week to see if anything would change. The Joy of Missing Out was so strong that I ended up staying off social media for 3 whole weeks. I realized that engaging with social media harmed my mental health, and I could develop strategies to improve my relationship with it.
