But, my brain gets pumped with dopamine which is slowly making it hard for me to focus in situations where there is not immediate + powerful stimuli.. Beyond that, it encourages comparison, sets unrealistic beauty and lifestyle standards AND I think it makes be dumber haha. 

Im planning on slowing my time on the social, and starting up a different project. BLOGGING haha. Blogging is a great way to practice writing, document life, publish photos, and collect memories. So... Maybe that will be my new project.
