I have recently downloaded Instagram once again…
Am I happy about that?
Not really.

But there were some moments where I honestly missed having access to it. Mostly when friends sent me images or videos over WhatsApp and the viewing experience in the browser was less than enjoyable. Let’s try it once again and see if I can keep my limits and not waste too much time on the app.

In my ongoing journey toward a more intentional and simplified digital life, I recently made the decision to delete my Instagram account. It wasn’t an impulsive choice, but rather the result of months of reflection on how I engage with social media and how it shapes my time, focus, and well-being. Still, I didn’t want to lose the memories I had shared there — moments that once felt meaningful enough to post, from everyday snapshots to special milestones.

This blog post is both a farewell and a keepsake. Here, I’ve archived the photos I once shared on Instagram — not to chase likes or comments, but simply to preserve a visual diary of those years. Think of it as a personal time capsule, one that lets me move forward while still honoring the past.
