For almost 5 years, Instagram has been my favorite phone application and lead me into new hobby which is photography. I used to post anything I love in Instagram, but since I develop new skills like photo editing, I began to care about what I post on my Instagram. Instagram is like my own digital gallery. I'm also proud to say that my editing skills, or my aesthetic sense are developing. Instagram also really has a big influence to a lot of people, particularly on travelling somewhere. They can easily see the beautiful places on earth with just one click. I'm one of Instagram's victim.  

The most important thing is we can easily check on other people's life. I never really compare my life to others, and I'm not easy to get jealous by others happiness. But this things might have some effects to others, whether they realize it or not. For me, the bad effect of instagram is the "search" feature. Once, I open that search feature I can't stop scrolling down. Sometimes, I didn't realize that I spend more than 30 minutes to scroll down the search feature. Did I get something from it? No, I didn't. The addiction is so bad. It makes me forgot to do other productive things. 

Instagram or other social media are part of our life now. It consumes our soul, If we can't control it. For you who don't get addicted by social media, or maybe you're on of the people who don't have social media, I give my respect to you, boss. It's hard to be part of people if you don't use one of the social media, right? Maybe, for some people they get addicted to other social media like twitter or facebook, but for me Instagram has the biggest effect for me. Maybe, there are too many talented people with a lot of photos, it makes me want to see more, more, and more.

Well, to be honest I don't stop post something on Instagram after posting this article. Like, I said it's my curated digital gallery. I will keep posting something based on my perspective and lenses. For me, I just don't have to tab the "search" button 😂 Especially when there's a news about my bias or my favorite celebrity/singer in the search feature, oh my gosh I can't stop. What is your favorite social media? Is it affecting your personal life?
