Instagram Breakthrough: Update
Instagram breakthrough!! I was FINALLY able to reach someone who helped me regain access to my account!
You may be wondering if you missed a new post or an IG story about it. You haven’t, because I haven’t even gone into my Instagram yet. I just signed in and signed back out. I know, crazy, but here’s why…
If this had happened even a month ago I would have jumped back in fast. It’s been so long though, and I’ve had lots of time to think about what made me more happy… was it the year I was on Instagram, or is it the time I’ve been off? Figuring out which I feel stronger about is what I need to decide, since I now have control of my IG again.
What if this situation happens again?
As to why I haven’t at least gone back into my account? Well there’s actually a list of reasons. I don’t know if I want to continue the theme I was doing, go in a different direction, or maybe mix things up more. I’ve also really enjoyed having more free time to concentrate on other things. The natural lighting has also not been great this season, and trying to take photos has been very difficult. And of course IG is all about the visuals. Lastly I’ve heard about the problems people have been experiencing with Instagram changing things around again. I definitely don’t want to deal with that frustration.
What I have missed BIG TIME though, are the wonderful friendships I made through Instagram. I loved DMing and commenting back and forth with you guys. You all are truly amazing (and thank you so much for keeping in contact via e-mails and comments on here)!!
Also, I was at 15.7k and growing every single day. It’s amazing to have been reaching so many people and making so many new relationships. To me those have honestly never been numbers or followers but personalities from all around the world that have inspired me and in many cases touched my heart. Truly, truly amazing! Sooo that’s what I’m weighing right now. I’m not announcing a decision in this post, because I honestly don’t have one. I just wanted to update you on my IG situation and let you know my thoughts on it.

Hi Katherina,
Wow those are some good news. I totally understand you though. Instagram is very time consuming and they have all the power… However I really want you to come back. You are inspiring so many people with your lovely comments and you were the kindest person this platform had! Maybe you can just restrict your IG time to one day a week or something 🙂

Awww, Carina, thank you so much. You are such a positive, uplifting person and a truly wonderful friend! You are also a huge inspiration, and I loved following you!
I was only posting once or twice a week on IG the last couple of months, and it was still very time consuming. That’s because the commenting and chatting made up 90% of the time I was on there. haha I still haven’t decided either way, but I’ll definitely let you know. Thank you so much for keeping in touch via e-mail and on here. Love you lots!
