Taking a break from social media might not be as easy as one would think - but it is imperative. With the constant outpour of information, it might take a toll on your mental health. So it is important to take a break, recuperate and continue when it feels right.
Momina Mustehsan thought the same and decided to go on a social media hiatus - and she loved every minute of it. In late June, the Afreen Afreen singer, without much elaboration, shared her Instagram account will be closed for a short period of time. Now, Momina is back on the app and is divulging on why she decided to go on a break.
"Hello, it's me," the Awaari crooner wrote in a recent post. "My Instagram break went on longer than anticipated. Living offline is beautiful."
She added, "Being exposed to so much content, information and stimulus can be overwhelming- it can almost make you believe it’s a big bad world out there. But that’s not true."
Discussing the cons of online world, Momina commented, "We all know the downside to social media, but the upside is that everyone has the opportunity to be heard and to tell their stories firsthand. The concept of the ‘other’ is shrinking. We are all the same, and not the same."
"Life is a big puzzle and we all hold different pieces to the larger picture. We all have little solutions to the bigger problem. We just need to be human together," she concluded.
