Crystal Smith is a millennial who admits “social media took over my life” and realized she needed to do something about it. “The amount of time I used to spend on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, etc. is mind-blowing and kind of depressing,” she explains. “In an attempt to get my life back, I decided to delete all my social media — and I was shocked at how much my life changed in a very short amount of time.”
How did her life change? She says that in just one week, she noticed these ten things.
