I quit using social media about 5 years ago. I still have a facebook account and an instagram account but I don’t ever look at them (unless my mom tells me to check a certain picture of my nieces or nephew). My biggest suggestion is to have a couple of games on your phone that you like to play because you’re still going to reach for your phone, just have somewhere else to go. I agree that TH-cam is different. It is my main form of entertainment and for news. Good luck Lu!
I'm 47 and never been to Europe yet... or another continent... I feel weird because apparently ever 20 year old nowadays has already been all around the world 🤔(I crossed Canada by train about 35 times though... which equates to 5x the distance between Earth and Moon). Can't wait...
Love this for you Lucy. In 2020 I quit social media for a year, along with alcohol, sex & went vegan lol 25 is a mini rebirth. Ever since taking that year break, my relationship with social media got healthy & I was a preteen that was obsessed with my phone etc lol so this break will do so much good for your soul. 💜✨️ I'm sure you can breathe lighter even now.
Lucy, I think it'll be easier than you might think lol I quit FB in 19 and never looked back. I use IG but that's mostly to follow TH-camrs lol TH-cam is totally my addiction😂But it doesn't control my life or impact me emotionally like FB did 🤷 I'm excited to see your first business class flight! That's gonna epic! ❤🎉
Hi Lucy! For me it was IG, it only took a few months off to chage the way I was using it. Now I download it back when I feel like using it, and then delete the app when I have checked the few profiles I enjoy. Sometimes I totally forget it exists, it does not feel like an addiction anymore! I would say the objective is not to be totally disconnected but to be really intentional on how you use it 😊
After I retired, I came to the realization that I was experiencing too much screen time. It was interfering with my desire to pursue creative projects. It’s not easy to self regulate when you think you might miss something! It’s been worth the effort. Change of topic: when you are double income / no kids, isn’t every meal out a ‘date’?
Sorry Lucy but everyone gets to see a sunset no matter where they live. If you’re on the east coast and look towards the ocean you will not get the full effect but if you look west towards land you will get to see your full sunset. Remember that the earth revolves around the sun. Glad you’re making the most of your time together.
I have been watching you guys for over a year now and it has been so sweet to be a part of some snippets of your life! . BIG fan of you two! ❤

Hahha that’s a great point! It makes it more fun to put the word “date” in front of it, but you’re soooo right.
PARIS??? ❤
Yummy.
Lessons in Chemistry!! Did you enjoy it? I just turned of notifications and it made a big difference. Now I look only when I want to.
Absolutely loved it! You should read it!
@@LuandChan I’ve read it! And I loved it too.
Read the book Stolen Focus by by Johann Hari, it will reinforce your decision to stay off of social media.
