It’s Almost Time

266 Days
I have been off social media for 266 days. That is 266 days of no mindless scrolling. There are three exceptions to my social media fast. When someone says “Hey did you see I posted…?” I have gone to look at particular posts. Almost all of them from my family with a few, very few…
