    Three months off social media. Been trying to get closer to God. Closer to my friends and family and my goals. Enjoy your hobbies, start creating, and enjoy the moment.

    You realise when you’re a person who isn’t addicted to social media, you cringe when you see people glued to their phones. I see people at work on their phones whilst they should be working. Walking with their phone. They just can’t stand being a few seconds or more not on it. I deleted the apps from my phone, but still have the accounts. I just access them through the computer. And even at that, being on the computer I couldn’t be bothered checking. I just have RUclips, Pinterest and Facebook messenger on my phone.
    I’m only 23, and a day or two into not having the apps on my phone, and there is that slight anxiousness you feel. But I feel excited to revert to the old ways of how I accessed things when I was a kid if I wanted to go onto the internet.
    I only had social media when I was 15, which was when I got ab iPhone; except for when I was a kid in the early 2000s faked my age to get on Facebook. But didn’t have that for long anyway, as I got bullied online, which back then, there was no such thing as cyber bullying yet.
    Best to just put your phone down and go out. I’m a bit of a gamer nowadays still. So I play nostalgic games. The minute you quit using it, the happier you feel. And one of the reasons why my childhood was so good and happy, not only just being a kid, having Lego, ps2, skateboarding, watching Simpsons, and not having much worry about; but social media was barely anything back then. And if you wanted to go onto the internet, you had to wait to use the computer.

I know this is a month old, but I wanted to mention how it was a little difficult for me to hear your voice over the music, so if next time the music could be turned down into more of a background noise, that would be great!

      @@adibarry Thank you soo much! I’ve asked a friend but for starters I marked down my calendar to know what date I gave up and deleted the Instagram app entirely. It’s too toxic. Makes you compare yourself to others see what people are looking at etc. I think this will be great for myself. And if people want to know what I’m up to they can contact me via normal communication 🥰.

      The reels are made like that on purpose to keep people wanting more and more because our attention span is so much shorter than before 😳

      @@adibarry Dear Miss Adi,
      I wanted to share some presentation tips with you to improve your videos. Firstly, consider improving your lighting to make yourself appear visually attractive and confident while addressing your viewers. I also appreciate your current makeup, and recommend keeping it the same.
      Using props like books, plants, or anything around you can make your video more engaging and add weightage to your content. When editing, try speeding up your video by about 0.15 to 0.20 percentage (until you naturally start to speak faster), before adding background music.
      Research shows that viewers engage more when presenters appear lean on camera, so avoid loose-fitting clothes and wear solid colors like the beige-colored outfit you are currently wearing.
      I hope these tips will be helpful in improving your presentation and engagement with your viewers. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
      Have a nice day, Miss Adi. Bye-bye!
      Love from INDIA :)

    Have you received Jesus Christ as Lord and personal savior in your life?
    If you haven't received it yet, accept him now in your life as a personal and savior, pray this prayer for the Lord that comes from your heart.
    " Father I thank You that You love me so much, no matter what my past has been You have a future for me that is bright. I thank You for the gift of Your Son, Jesus and I desire to experience all that He gave His life for me to have. I choose now to turn from my own way, and I ask you to cleanse me of all unrighteousness. I believe that Jesus died to take my sin and rose from the dead that I may be forgiven. I declare that right now I am Your child and I am free to be who You created me to be, In Jesus name I pray. Amen."
