One thing you realize when you go through the actual data on your social media not filtered through an algorithm is how small your quality interactions with people were in comparison to the noise. They make you feel like you'd be losing thousands of "friends" but none of us have the attention span to keep up with that many people and your data history will show that there's like a dozen ppl at a time you had deep connections with. Putting the noise away and letting go makes room for quality time
