I was feeling down last night and was trying to unpack it with my husband, Will. I realized the funk was because I had seen various pieces of online content that made me feel bad—do this! Don’t do this! Here’s someone who looks way more successful than you! That sort of stuff.

Then I realized the reason I had seen this stuff was from scrolling on Notes.

Will goes, “yup, makes sense, sounds like you’re back on social media and it’s making you sad. Such a weird thing humans do to ourselves.”

Yup, that’s definitely what was happening. I haven’t been on social media for years, so this brand of sadness was notable and identifiable. With the new home page I’m scrolling a lot more. So there it is, quite black and white.

Still not sure what I’m going to do with this information. But I’m very much noticing it and taking it seriously.
