The Big Clearance 1 : I went over my Instagram account

Been deleting old contacts over and over, old friends, older lovers, older collaborations, people with whom we've shared something somewhere but I feel I've outgrown.....
I've been doing this, decluttering my physical belongings for several years.
Today I followed just the same technique, from Marie's Kondo teachings (minimalist) feeling around every contact, with the only question " does it spark joy ? "
There were several occasions filled with guilt. Several contacts that I've been keeping because "what if this person who have supported me with this and that finds out I've unfollowed them ? "
Other occasions filled with pity " What if they get sad and lonely ? ", other were fear based .. " what if I need this contact for work related such and such " ...
Been deleting rare to find artists accounts that their art has stopped speaking to me.
Been unfollowing older peers from the fine arts academy or project mates.
Travelling short companions from whom I've learnt all that I had to learn at the exact moment of our physical meeting.
All this continuity and the following, is great, as long as it serves who we are.
Ah.
It's been exhausting but worth it.

All because of this video that I've watched that was emphasizing on the importance of LET GO in order to let what is a match to us, to find the space to come in. Uh.
I'm tired.

How about your Saturday's ?
It's a full moon you all do not forget...

I just did the same thing on Instagram, and deleted a lot of people that post too much for my taste.

@Bowenw that too, yes, freeing...

@being Some people post dozens of times a day. I don't need that much information. Once a week is more than plenty for me.

@Bowenw it's the algorithm pushing it also and you end up seeing more of the same thing, I have removed a couple in the past that used to post like that.

@being Facebook must use a similar system.
