Over the past week, I’ve been doing something I never quite expected to do: cleaning up my Instagram post account.
I’ve removed about 99% of my posts dating all the way back to August 2011. It wasn’t dramatic or impulsive, just a few minutes here, an hour there, until it was done.
Why?
Partly because I think I’m simply… done. I could close the account or put it on pause, but it felt better to tidy it up and leave behind just a few favorite posts. A quiet reset rather than a slammed door.
The less I’ve used Instagram this year, the more I’ve realized it’s no longer fun for me. And that’s okay.
But here’s the interesting part: as I scrolled back through years of posts before deleting them, I was reminded of tools I had purchased, used once or twice, photographed proudly… and then set aside.
One in particular caught my attention: my Ashford Inkle Loom.
Purchased in 2017.
Used exactly twice.
Twice.
