> I now feel weird posting Nice Photos to social media. Who are those for, really?

I have a private Instagram account with ~100 followers of people I actually know.

And I still agree with this although I'm trying hard not to. I'm just trying not to be cynical.

But I hate this feeling of my life experiences seeming like they require external validation.

Am I doing things just so that others know I did them? Is it just a curated feed I can look back on by myself? Social media feels like it steals our lives away from us.
