I’m not a regular Instagram poster these days; I found the platform completely drained my sanity in the 10 years I was an active user.
Everyone from celebrities to influencers and even my friends always seemed to have a more glamorous life, more aesthetic surroundings, and frankly better photography skills than I, and in a Zillennial tale as old as time (or at least, the social media boom of the 2010s) I progressively became more and more jaded and self-conscious until I eventually pretty much stopped using the app altogether in 2021.
