Scrolling, Feeling, Choosing Better

As a millennial who basically grew up alongside social media, I’ve felt a wide range of emotions while scrolling. Some pass quickly. Others linger a little longer than I’d like.

There are moments of jealousy, like when I see someone walking along a quiet beach in Costa Rica, everything looking effortless and perfectly lit. There are moments that sting a bit, like realizing a group got together and I didn’t even know about it. And then there are the quieter feelings, like loneliness when engagement photos seem to take over my feed, or that underlying sense that I’m somehow behind in a race I don’t even remember signing up for.
