I think it is always worth reflecting on why we keep things in our livesĪ few weeks ago, I had an open and honest discussion with a close friend who deleted Instagram herself several years ago. How can we keep our friends updated on our lives? How can we make sure we don’t get left out of large Facebook events? How do we see what is going on in the world around us? We have come to a point where many of us struggle to envision a life without social media.

Right from their basic function as a communication tool up to their role in spreading news and information, we cannot deny their importance in modern society. It’s important, I guess, to appreciate the value apps such as Instagram add to our lives. For me, social media, especially Instagram, has served both a positive and negative purpose in my life. All the way from friends, to jobs, to minor elements of our daily routine. I think it is always worth reflecting on why we keep things in our lives. I’d like to clarify my reasoning, why this has been a long time coming, and my plan moving forward. I know my followers will surely miss my regular posts and updates, but I thought it was the perfect opportunity to reflect upon the role social media plays in our lives. For those who know me, this may come as quite the surprise. A shock, I know, coming from a 20-year-old prolific social media user.
