With being shut off from what we thought of as our normal everyday life, most of the planet has been tethered to their phones more than ever before. While helpful and indispensable (when it comes to communicating with quarantined friends and family), it is also making us blind and numbing us. I think Instagram is a great tool but it is important for people to analyze why and how they use their phones. If you turn to your phone as an escape from anxiety or a way to cope with a stressful situation, notice that. It is important not to run from your emotions, especially now. Rather, sit with them and try and understand why they’re there.
