Now that my schedule is busier, it's definitely one of the first things that falls off my priority list, which I guess is good right? That I'm not giving up a true life necessity for IG? Ha! It's funny though bc I do use Facebook for just friends and family and it can be so negative to scroll through that feed. Especially with all the drama. Instagram is my happy place. Filtered the way I like with only things that make me happy. Which is sometimes quite good for my own sanity! The comparison factor is certainly tough to balance! I do try to remind myself that it's all relative, but yeah, still a struggle for all of us!<br />Carylee | http://morepiecesofme.com Caryleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14289655388877684135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3104712673909819244.post-23795871388660526982016-12-01T16:32:39.811-08:002016-12-01T16:32:39.811-08:00Girl that is so smart!

You can't just quit your job and blog full time unless someone is paying you. I wish I could do that too! No sense in comparing yourself to other people! You have so much right in front of you to be thankful for. You are wise beyond your years! :)GretchCannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11974517368336848018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3104712673909819244.post-64677370840104388982016-12-01T11:00:51.997-08:002016-12-01T11:00:51.997-08:00Instagram and social media in general are tough.

I only have IG and FB. I scroll through my IG once a day (FB I strictly use for friends and relatives). But I don't tend to compare myself to others on IG. You don't know what goes on in ppl's lives and reel life often is misrepresented especially this is done by IG'ers who see themselves as celebrities, lol!<br /><br />You gtta take everything with a grain of salt. If you do, then social media will not overwhelm you. Lotsa stuff and lotsa trips do not bring happiness, it's much deeper than that :) Shadowy Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08170268219457214588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3104712673909819244.post-71356585224843702542016-11-30T22:47:01.006-08:002016-11-30T22:47:01.006-08:00I'm nodding to everything you wrote. Yes, yes,...I'm nodding to everything you wrote. Yes, yes, and yes! Great post. I only joined Instagram a few months ago and don't have a big following but I follow lots of bloggers.

A few of my friends don't even have social media and they honestly seem so much more content when we go out and they aren't worrying about documenting everything we do! It's a good lesson. Balance is key!
