Do I Regret My Time As An Instagram Influencer?

Phew! This is one hell of a loaded question that I have been trying to answer since 2021 when I deleted my influencer account of half a million followers. My answer has changed and morphed over the past few years and I think I am finally ready to talk about it in more detail….

To lessen the heaviness of this post, I decided to walk through my past of what led me to be an “Instagram influencer”, some of these pictures had me rolling in laughter. Many of these are before IG days and they were taken with a shitty camera or phone (do you remember how insanely awful the cameras were on those phones back then?!) Anyways, I hope they make you giggle a bit.

(apologies for this long winded blog post but I have so many thoughts…)
