Social media makes me feel worse but I can't delete it
I know social media isn't real life but it still gets to me. I see people doing things I want to be doing, looking the way I want to look, living the way I want to live. I feel worse every time I scroll but I can't bring myself to delete it because I'd feel disconnected. It's a trap I can see but can't get out of.
