    We often think that ritual scrolling through instagram every day is entertaining and overall a great way to connect with incredible friends and creators. While I 100% agree with the benefits of social media: representation, inspiration, etc., recently I've come to think otherwise. Today I'll share some of my negative experiences with my endeavors online (especially instagram), and why I think it's important to distance ourselves from the toxic environment it often fosters. I hope you guys relate with this one! Zest & Wishes is a teen artist sharing her reveries, wonderings, and hopes as she encounters the ever-changing world.
