ジェナ・マローンさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ジェナ・マローンInstagram)「A birthday checkin. I’m still digging in. Still on the phone. Just off Instagram and many other apps. It’s a soft wean. It is my birthday today. And I usually share here. But I’ve stopped. I do feel like there’s a great many things that i love about this community. One being the gift of having a place to share. That held breath moment before you send. It’s a invisible love letter with strangers. How is that not beautiful? For me It’s mostly the commerce. Or rather the commerce that emerges in the softer regions of my brain after having engaged here/ scrolled thru here. Having been off Instagram for over a month now I realize I am so much less aware of what to buy , need to buy , what is being sold or envied in my social circle. It’s not that I don’t notice my need to buy. I’ve been allowing craigslist to fulfill that urge when it arrives. Though I haven’t bought anything.And maybe before , when I was on Instagram , maybe it wasn’t what I was buying either but how much time was spent causally thinking about it. How much mental space that held. A whole handmade shopping center had been birthed and given prime real estate in my mind. I didn’t even have to actually buy things from it to have it really effect me. I came on here for the first time today to connect for my birthday. And I instantly was aware of what people were wearing , how I wanted to Look, to order food from my local sellers for thanksgiving , how I wanted a ice coffee. I instantly coveted a friends new clothing collection, making an inventory of things in my head I loved, just to instantly move on from it. Or actually rather revisiting aimlessly later. I saw a picture of a woman wearing a shirt I wanted. An instant flood of real estate in my brain. Anyways. Just some thoughts as I quickly tune in and say I love you and there’s a great big world out there that has nothing to do with traditional commerce. I’ll see you on craigslist and tiktok and email shares and in the hidden figures of books friends recommend and changed propositions. I’ll see you at the grocery store or the coffee shop. But mostly I won’t see you. But I do still love you .」11月22日 6時34分
