aahh!! im also a cancer sun and it's the first time i realize this is how connected we could all be just by star signs and im new to substack so i haven't yet felt its claws on me too much (although i might undergo the process soon) but i, too, have been thinking such thoughts recently and im glad that you've come into a conclusion about how to go with it. my resolution has been the same. even way back there's always the push-and-pull of quitting socmed forever, but there's always been its significance for connecting with others long distance, so i only ever end up deactivating it when im tired. we're quite the opposite in that i always felt pressured because everyone seemed to be posting up-to-date about their lives, and i couldn't do it because i was too much of a perfectionist. but as i grew older, i realized i don't actually owe anyone my updates (perhaps, except my mother..), and that the receiving end will really just be grateful with whatever it is i'll be sharing.
massively resonate with this! Thank you for a gorgeous piece (it's good even if no-one said so)
this was such a lovely read
Fellow Cancer Baby 🙋🏻♀️ thanks for the reflection
