¿WhatsApp, Telegram o ninguno?

  Hace ya un tiempo que quería dejar de usar Whatsapp. Ese sentido constante de hiper-conectividad y disposición 24/7, siempre me resultó algo inquietante. Finalmente, debido a una semana particularmente alocada y pesada en mi vida, me retiré a recargarme, lo que suele significar no hablar con nadie un rato y no usar Facebook, pero esta vez, lo llevé un paso más adelante, la mensajería instantánea existe, es conveniente y todo mundo la usa... ¿Entonces, sería demasiado raro no usarla? Hasta cierto punto, pero no pude haber imaginado la infinita alegría que me produce el no tener el ícono verde y blanco, ni azul, pues tampoco pienso instalar Telegram.  No tener instagram o twitter de uso personal (los tengo por trabajo pero nunca los uso) es una cosa, pero dejar de usar algo que me parece el 100% de las personas que conozco, usa...eso sí que es atrevido, es ir contra corriente y es justo lo que necesitaba, no sé si lo volveré a utilizar, lo que sé es que existen los mensajes de...

 I am understanding that I enjoy duality, the human "realm" and the spiritual, light and dark, in every possible shape or form.

  I was gonna name this "das Experiment" but that's a very cheap and easy joke. You know, cos of the movie..no? Ok never mind. I mean the original, German one, not the remake btw. Anywho, I've sometimes gone off the grid, deleted social media accounts, and whatnot, for some years now I've felt less and less driven to make use of them... Right now you can say I have Facebook, but I don't have "friends" there, I only use to check on local breweries, vegan restaurants, and events. I do have an Instagram, although, I am now seriously pondering if I will keep it or not and what for, I have Twitter which I barely use, I kept it since it "announced" when I went live on Twitch, this makes me wonder, shall I keep my channel or just send it away? On this, I have not decided. So, FB can stay, as I use it to check on things. Insta, I uninstalled the app and might eventually just delete it altogether or not, that depends on what I feel and think this ne...
