Curious how you feel the online interactions affect you? I take breaks, intentionally and other. I find it really healthy. I value this format though. I’ve always preferred longer written form. The insta world has become mind numbing and blurry for me. It’s no longer where I go to connect. I’m seeing the need for more intentional friendships seeing as time is so precious.

*big sigh* I'm not sure TBH. I've lived a huge portion of my life online. I was an early adopter from age 10 and up. I met so many friends in high school though ICQ and chat rooms. The last two years, almost all my social interactions have been online.

Maybe that's why I'm seeking a break? Maybe I've turned the tap on too far and need to bring it back to a slow drip? I don't feel like I need to replace online friendships with in person friendships per say but maybe I do. Still trying to figure it all out!
