getting back into instagram For a long time, I’ve had a real love-hate relationship with Instagram and it’s been a big source of worry and anxiety for me but I think I’ve finally found a good balance with it. It’s actually made me really happy which isn’t something that I’ve felt for such a long time and I’ve felt that thrill of sharing content and connecting with my audience which I truly thought had disappeared with the constant algorithm changes.
