The phones are bulging.

Let's go to line 15, talk to Kelly.

Kelly is going on week three without social media.

Week three.

What made you unplug social media, Kelly hi oh my gosh i'm so nervous

right now i'm so sorry um it's it's not you know perfect um so i don't really know i just i

decided one day that i was spending way too much time on my phone when i could have been doing

literally anything else you know how like on sundays I think well for me it's Sundays you get that

notification pops up and tells you how long you spent on your phone this week? It was like just it

kept being a ridiculous amount of time and I realized I was not even accomplishing anything. I'm just

scrolling and like doom scrolling I guess and just kind of staring and closing the app, opening the app, closing the app, opening the app, and I just decided I'm all set with it. I'm going to do something else. So I just, I deleted Instagram, I deleted Snapchat, I got rid of everything that I had, and I've just been without it ever since. And I just, like, I believe you were saying it, like, the difference it makes is just crazy. You just feel realize it until it's gone. And you feel like you feel clarity. Like it's weird. It's like this weird. Yeah. That's the thing. That's that article. Okay, the article, I've got to find that article. I'm find it in a minute they do say that as i said

before it rewires your brain it rewires where you think you are in this world it's kind of kind of a

kind of a heady thing yeah but uh you don't realize it until after you unplug from it like you've

done on three weeks now jeez yeah i guess i guess it's the same as same as if you drink every day. If you get a buzz every day, you don't really understand what's going on until you stop drinking every day. And you're like, okay. Yeah. Okay. It's obvious. So, but comparing social media to alcohol or drugs, I guess. I guess you can. There are similarities there. So crazy. Oh, for sure. Yeah, absolutely. How long do you think will go? I mean, are you just on hold? Are you ever going to turn it back on? I mean, what's your plan? You know, I haven't decided yet. It's actually so funny because my boyfriend every day will be like, well,

who am I supposed to send these funny videos to that I'm looking at? And are you going to get Instagram back yet? When are you going to get everything back? And my friends for the first like three days, I was getting texts like, what's wrong? What happened? Why can't I find you on Instagram? What's going on? Nothing's going on. I just decided to kind of take a break.

Yeah.

So we'll see.

I don't know.

I may go back on eventually, but right now is scary.
