Happy Holidays! I absolutely love hearing when people take breaks / quit social media. I did this a few years ago. It helped my brain/ mood so much. Looking forward to seeing you more on Substack in 2025, Marnie Rae!

Love the idea of taking the apps off your phone. I quit FB a while ago, I still have instagram. I don't post very often - I do find my self scrolling when I have down time. Think I will load some good brain teaser games to fill those voids while waiting for the doctor or on the ferry. So glad I will see you on Here. Hope your blessings outweigh the heartaches in 2025.

Ryan! So good to see your name pop up:) Good luck with the scrolling! For me, it is a work in progress. Best of everything to you in the new year:) The blessings always outweigh the heartaches if you're paying attention...xo

Love that you did an audit, and thanks for the mention. I'm slowly going through mine and making some discoveries. I too have been a bit of a phone screen wh*re, and this line you wrote sums things up:

"And with 2,600 followers and plenty of engagement (barf), I felt lonely."

Happy year's end, holidays, to being with ALL of it, life in action. XOXO Tatyana
