Soul Wrenching Choice

I said farewell to instagram today.

It was an agonizing decision I've been pondering for months.  The app spews forth so many ads and so much suggested content that it has become more distraction than social.  I don't want to lose track of so many great friends and I'll try to find a way to check in with them outside the app.  I hope my relationship with a few will be worth a step for them beyond scrolling.  If that is too inconvenient, I completely understand.

This new platform allows me to create my content on my own terms.  Even better, people have a choice about whether to visit.  If they do, I want them to feel welcome.
