The Girl Who Posted Her Feelings Because She Couldn't Say Them

I've never been good at talking about how I feel. Not out loud, anyway. In real life, asking for attention felt selfish. Saying "I'm sad" felt dramatic. Telling someone "I need you to tell me it's going to be okay" felt pathetic. So I didn't. I smiled, said I

The Night I Deleted Instagram

It was 2:17 a.m. on a Tuesday. I know the exact time because I checked it right before I deleted the app. I was lying in bed, doing what I always did before sleep – scrolling. Not looking for anything specific. Just… scrolling. The endless stream of faces, pl

6 Hours of Gaming and Nothing Left

It started the way it always starts: "Just one more round." I'd come home from school around 3 p.m., drop my bag in the hallway, and go straight to my room. The plan was always the same – play for an hour, maybe two, then do homework. Easy. Reasonable. Totall

My Phone Was the Last Thing I Touched Every Night

For two years, my bedtime routine was the same: brush teeth, get into bed, pick up phone, and scroll until my eyes literally couldn't stay open. Sometimes it was TikTok. Sometimes Instagram. Sometimes just bouncing between apps, looking for… I'm not even sure

I Bought Things I Didn't Need to Feel Something

It always happened late at night. After midnight, usually. When the house was quiet, my brain was tired, and my willpower was at zero. I'd open a shopping app – any shopping app – and just browse. Trainers I didn't need. Gadgets I'd use once. Clothes that loo

My Parents Said I Was Addicted. I Laughed.

My parents told me I was addicted to my phone. I laughed. Actually, I didn't just laugh – I rolled my eyes so hard I'm surprised they didn't get stuck. "You don't understand," I said. "Everyone my age is on their phone this much. It's normal." And to be fair

Five More Minutes

It was an ordinary evening. Around eleven, I was in bed, the lights off, ready to sleep. Just five more minutes on TikTok, I told myself. One video, then another, then another – the kind of scrolling where your thumb moves on its own. When I finally looked at

The Evening I Lost Track of Time

Half past ten on a weeknight. I was in bed and opened social media "just for five minutes". You know how that goes. Video after video, each one pulling me into the next, until I looked up and it was almost midnight. What I remember most is how strange I felt

Those Five Minutes

After a long day of classes, all I wanted was to lie down and check social media quickly before sleeping. It was around ten. I was exhausted. "Those five minutes" turned into nearly two hours of videos and posts, and when I finally looked up from the screen, m

Life Is Lived in Reality

I'll say it without false modesty: right now, my relationship with digital life is a balanced one, and I take full credit for it. I've managed not to get swallowed up – not by social networks, not by the little tricks they use to keep you there, not by viral

Something Won't Let Me Stop

Without digital life, real life doesn't seem to make sense anymore. Everything I do is tied to it, one way or another. And I know. I know it isn't OK. I know it could affect my future, that it's affecting me now. But it's as if something inside won't let me p

What Gaming Taught Me – and When to Let Go

A large part of my life happens online. But for me, digital life has never meant scrolling on a phone. It means games. I spend hours playing – sometimes alone, often with friends – and over the years the digital world has become a place where I can have fun, l
