Tweetable Quotes:
“One should be careful not to buy into the notion that someone else’s life is somehow more complete or fulfilling than yours, based solely on what you see online.” - Germany Kent
"As a way to add barriers between you and social media, you have to start structuring your time.” - Breonna B.
“Work through any unhealthy emotions, experiences, avoidant behaviour, and insecurities in therapy. Having someone who is trained, and knows how to help you untangle yourself from that web can be vital to give you a different perspective, on not only whatever it is that you’re addicted to, but everything else in your life.” - Breonna B.
