Instagram // Thoughts on Mind #9


I still remember starting my Instagram account. It was not long ago and I’ve already deleted some pictures. I can’t really say when I started using Instagram frequently. Maybe two or three years now? When I started, I thought it was unbelievable for someone to have more than 1000 followers. People with more than 10 or 100 thousand followers were famous to me. Models, musicians, it-girls or Blogger-queens à la SongofStyle, Fashiontoast, Tuulavintage, Peace Love Shea or The Blonde Salad.

I remember getting 2,000 and 4,000 followers. I tried experimenting with shout-outs. You can learn why I don’t do them anymore here. When I was in Thailand more and more followers rolled in…5,000, 10,000, 12,000! How did that turn out like this? Imagine a room full of so many people. Thats cray because who am I? After the Instagram cleaning, I lost about 2,500 non-active followers and I’m now at 15,000 followers. It’s a crazy number of people! That’s huge for me. But now 15K – what’s that?

Instagram changed.

I get the feeling Instagram turned to a “who’s who“ to get famous. To make a brand out of yourself.  Cooperations – more and more. As if a blog is somewhow worth less. As if Instagram is more important. Who has more? Who looks better? More comments, likes, cooperations. I don’t know – Instagram is not what it used to be.

Why am I writing this? What do I want to say? I’m not sure either. I just need to get this out of my head. Sometimes I think: Do I have to become like that? Is that the new trend? Will I be forgotten if I don’t? Am I blogging the wrong things?

And then I remember that I don’t have to do anything. That’s not me. I’m a person. A young, travel-loving, laughing person thinking too much. I’m really thankful for all you guys. I got to know so many great people commenting kind words following my journeys. I like seeing your pictures and reading what you are doing. I want to say THANK YOU for this. Thank You for following me!
