I know it sounds crazy to most of you but I have been removed from social media for years now. It was a personal choice but I’m happy with it. I would rather live my life than post about the one I wish I had. So you can imagine my confusion when half of my readings since he left this last time is about him keeping tabs on me. There is nowhere for him to look. Of course he has all my texts. He saved them all in folders which really annoys me. After he left this last time I reminded him of all the times I said all you will have left of me is those texts. No response of course. We have no mutual friends either. He had just moved to my town when we met. So it’s really driving me crazy because there have been very few things my readings got wrong. Have any of you ever had anything like this? I know it doesn’t make a damn bit of difference in this journey, but it’s driving me crazy none the less.
I deactivated all my socials (except for X, I just left cold turkey) a month after my and my TF’s fallout. It went for almost a full year until I was practically required to put my Instagram account for something professional.
Being a Gen Z makes the social media integration in our lives feel so eye-opening when something as heavy as separation happens. Like I was a very cringe “exposed too early to the internet” geek yapper kid to practically a technophobe who posts one story bi-monthly now.
If you think about it…… How can you take a journey within if you keep looking outward?
Neither my twin nor I have any social media presence. I gave it up almost entirely over a year ago (I have a max-privacy FB account that I only use very occasionally to keep up with family and friends), and he closed his social media accounts a few months before that. I am so relieved not to have it in my life any more and can’t imagine ever going back, and I know he has zero interest in it either. It makes the “checking their socials” part of this journey entirely irrelevant to our situation.
As for the readings, I always take what resonates and leave what doesn’t… and the stuff that does resonate is sometimes so incredibly spot on (last week I received a potent sign I’d asked for through one of mine) that I know they can still be useful guideposts.
Whatever works. Anyone who doesn’t get that this is a solo journey will never be in union. If they are even in a twin relationship that is. I have serious doubts that most are.
