Getting My Life Together

Now that I’m a married woman, I’ve decided to get my life together. Lowkey I am a new woman. My new name is and eventually legally will be Chloe Cooke Hernandez. So I’m a new woman.

After our honeymoon I felt rejuvenated and ready to set new goals and habits. On July 27th, I removed all my social media apps. My goal is to go one month without using social media. 11 days down and I’m doing okay. I’ve become obsessed with Sudoko instead. Whenever I think about social media I instead try to think about what else I could possibly do. I think more. Social media is a good distraction (sort of) from intrusive thoughts. But instead of just scrolling past the thought I know feel compelled to do something about it. I don’t have anything else to do with my time. Well turns out I have a lot to do with my time.

One outcome from this break could be that I just stay off social media all together. Or I could just scroll on the computer like the olden days. I read a New York Times article today about how to become less addicted to your phone and that was one of the suggestions. Catch me on the computer august 27th.

Social media is just a weird concept in general. We used to communicate ONLY by words. Then letters. Now we are connected to everyone through the internet. I don’t know it’s kind of mysterious to not be on the internet. But imagine how different life would be without it. That would truly feel like a parallel reality.

Anyways (my brother informed me it’s actually anyway) we’ll see how the rest of the month goes. But I can certainly say I’m getting my life together.
