Perhaps it was due to the moisture in the air, the not-so-properly working AC, or my social media fasting that was giving me sleepless nights. My heart wanted to scroll, like, comment, post stories, and watch reels, but my mind was stopping me. I wanted to practice a lot of self-restraint, but in the end, I ended up putting up a status showing my feet in compression socks, announcing the onset of my old age.

As for him, he commented on my status, saying that he would love me more in my old age. I felt like my whole purpose of social media fasting was defeated.

Still, I am trying very hard to be much less visible on social media. He posts happy stories with friends and his new work culture, and it triggers me. This triggers me to practice more self-love rather than virtual show-offs. It's good because this is the goal of the twin flame journey.
