What social media means to me

    So, Imma share to you how's my life after I quit social media for a month. It's actually the thing that I really wanted to do since a long time ago. And I'm not a social media junkie, I don't really like to scrolling over Instagram timeline and stories for the rest of my day, and I don't update my story too often. I also don't really like to whinning around or be wise so sudden in my Twitter timeline. I can survive a week without logging into my Instagram account. So, quitting social media for a month is easy-peasy for me.
    Jadi sekitar sebulan sebelum UNBK sama UAMBN, I uninstalled Instagram, Line (I switched to Line Lite), Twitter and Tumblr. Actually for many reasons; 1). I don't want to be distracted by social medias on my phone while I use my phone for good, 2). For the sake of my data and money, 3). For the sake of my storage after I downloaded The Sims Freeplay (cheat mod, HA). And I have no idea how much it changes my life. I'm not even lying or advertising any eye health products or campaign for #antiantisocial. Even after UNBK aku belum install Intagram lagi, jadi aku pinjem hape temenku or my boyfriend's buat bikin story atau scrolling aja liat-liat "mau lulus" themed posts on my timeline.
    Efek yang aku rasain, yang pertama adalah aku bisa enjoy my time with my friends and family, without social medias on my phone then I have no reason not to listen to them. Second, I can be more productive, I realized that scrolling over any timeline can be very addictive, I must say. Without any social medias on my phone then, again, I have no reason to be lazy in my bed again. Third, I can really.....DO something, you know? Jadi nggak cuman campaign di social media, atau favoritku signing di change.org, tapi beneran terjun di masyarakat, donating to orphanage. And fourth, nggak tau, rasanya itu lebih less-stressful gitu. Maybe it's just me overthinking, tapi dengan (mungkin) nggak melihat sesuatu yang nggak seharusnya kamu liat (misal gebetan kamu jalan sama orang lain) bisa bikin kamu nggak---mikir aneh??? if that makes sense, soalnya kalo kata Tame Impala "The Less I Know the Better". Jadi dengan kamu nggak liat gebetan kamu story sama orang lain, kamu nggak harus nangis, or sorrowing or making it rain---if that makes sense---Yang terakhir yang paling membantu adalah mengurangi, bahkan aku sekarang jarang banget insomnia. Biasanya kan aku scrolling Twitter sampe tengah malem, akhirnya kelewatan terus insomia deh.
    Sampe sekarang, even I installed Instagram back again, but I always logged out. And, with installing Line Lite it can actually save your data (iya soalnya nggak ada timeline, can't access vote, albums and stickers. Kalo Line bukan preffered social media kamu, this would be the best app). I still haven't install Tumblr and Twitter back, cz, lama-kelamaan aku jadi terbiasa gitu. This is a very positive thing for me, and I think I would continue doing this. But I'm not 100% quitting, ya? Jangan salah masuk, lebih ke reducing social media usage. Suka khilaf? Suka, malem malem kalo lagi insom, atau tidur tanggung gini---antara udah jam 12 tapi jam 3 sahur---biasanya buka Twitter terus scrolling Cole Sprouse atau Dave Franco lahya.
    So this is my very own story reducing the usage of my social medias, and it has very good feedback for myself, especially for my insomnia problem. I recommend this habit for you guys who suffer with insomnia. And for those of you guys yang merasa udah keterlaluan make social medias, and really wanted to just.....chill-lah makenya, nggak setiap 2 jam update story.
Danke!
