I quit the socials abiut six months ago because I felt burnt out, but also I started studying how to grow on social, like the real data, and I was like, 'this is way too much work' I don't want to have to make four reels a week plus stories, plus posts plus try to write, plus run my business. I also don't need random people knowing anything about me. It's weird now because I feel like because most of my younger friends share constantly online when I catch up with them, I have no idea what is going on in their lives because I'm not on social media. I also felt like I knew waaaaayyyy too much private information about their children. Children who can't consent to having that information shared.

As someone who has just begun sharing online, I needed to read this! I’ve been trying to find the balance/difference between authentic vulnerability vs turning my privacy and trauma into public consumption. I think I’ll gain a lot from these words, thank you for writing!
