Singer Momina Mustehsan broke her social media break yesterday when she wrote a post appreciating the silence and privacy that comes along with staying away from social media. She uploaded a post on Instagram where she explained that her social media break had gone longer than she had anticipated since she found life away from the internet to be quite peaceful:
“Hello, it’s me 👋🏼 my Instagram break went on longer than anticipated. Living offline is beautiful.”
Momina Mustehsan then went on to explain that although she had previously believed that too much usage of social media apps can cause stress and anxiety, but she now appreciates it for how it has offered every one an equal platform where they have the chance to share their stories:
“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. 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 ♥️”
