Sometimes you open your phone just to catch up, and suddenly your screen is full of hand-holding photos, surprise proposals, soft captions, and love that looks effortless. Couples everywhere. Smiling. Thriving. In love. And without meaning to, you start comparing.

You wonder why your own love story feels quiet, paused, or unfinished. You scroll a little more, hoping it won’t get to you, but it does. Slowly. Subtly. Until your chest feels heavy and peace starts slipping away.

That’s when logging out becomes an act of self-care.

Logging out isn’t bitterness. It isn’t jealousy. It’s choosing your mental health over a highlight reel. It’s remembering that what you’re seeing is a curated moment, not the full story. Every couple online has arguments they don’t post, tears they don’t film, and days that don’t make it to the timeline.

Peace lives offline sometimes. In silence. In your own pace. In not measuring your life against someone else’s edited happiness.

So you close the app. You breathe. You remind yourself that love is not a race, and loneliness is not a failure. Your story is still unfolding, just not on social media.

And in that quiet moment away from the screen, you find something rare and beautiful again: yourself.
