Head empty, just post.
Remember when Instagram felt fun?
These days, posting on Instagram feels like you’re bearing your soul to the world.
Head empty, just post.
But this wasn’t always the case, we weren’t always so scared to share.
There were no Instagram stories.
There were no TikTok trends to chase and simultaneously, there was little to no fear!
We snapped photos in-app and in real time.
Well, I used to do that, then go a step further and post it on YouTube.
or “You’re making another Instagram account?
What are people going to think?”.
Completely normal stuff, y’know.
To keep the 2014 theme alive I set myself ground rules to uphold.
On the first day of posting, I was nervous.
It felt cringey and unnatural to put hashtags on things again.
It was strange to post a photo without picking the best shot out of 50 others.
Once week two rolled around, I had to get my coworkers involved.
Purely because I wanted to photograph something other than my #Lunchtime.
This feeling continued on for rest of the month.
When I explained that I was posting like it was 2014, it suddenly all made sense to them.
Normally, once a month would be pushing it for me.
You’re allowed to have fun and share how proud you are of your life.
