Have you ever wondered what life would be like without social media? I never thought I would find out until I decided to quit cold turkey for an entire year. The experience was both challenging and eye-opening, teaching me valuable lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

The Decision to Quit Social Media

It all started on a Monday morning, when I woke up feeling overwhelmed by the constant barrage of notifications and updates from various social media platforms. I realized that I was spending more time scrolling through feeds than engaging with the real world around me. That’s when I made the bold decision to deactivate all my accounts and see what life had in store for me beyond the screen.

However, as the days passed, I began to notice subtle changes in my mood and behavior.
