Embracing Slow Living: Why I walked away from Instagram

My experiment with slow living was the first step in breaking a vicious cycle I’ve struggled with for decades. I told myself I didn’t care what people think, but I kept posting to get validation because I did care. But like a pressure valve being released, I found the strength to finally let go. By not sharing anything on social media for almost two months, not caring if followers left or came, I felt free, more creative and less afraid of doing the things I cared about and doing them at the pace that made sense to me.
