Still offline :)

Wow.... turns out I have been off Instagram for 3 months already. Although not 100% off, I didn't delete my account, just uninstalled the app on my phones. I gotta say it was a good decision.

Facebook I need for my dissertation research....

Instagram felt too superficial and in the end became toxic for me. Too toxic that I decided to uninstall it for the time being last night.Awalnya berani unfollow atau hide story. Lama2 muak ya uninstall sekalian. Belum berani tutup akun dulu...
