A loss in authenticity?

 Half a year ago I deactivated two social media accounts.  They each had a 30 day grace period where you could reactive the account and nothing would be permanently lost.  I re-upped it once or twice before forgetting all about it. 

I'd been trying to ween myself off social media for a while because it sapped away my mental energy.  A lot of the content was just more than I needed or wanted to know.  Most of the time it made my feelings seesaw between happiness and distress. 

When I remembered what I forgot to do, I felt a bit of sorrow.  I erased 12 years of lifelogging.  Eventually I moved on and don't think much about it anymore.
