The Version of You That Never Got Social Media

What if you never joined? Never signed up, never posted a status update, never knew what it felt like to go viral or ghosted?

Somewhere in the multiverse—or maybe just deep in your own imagination—there’s a version of you untouched by social media. And she’s... different.

She Exists, Somewhere

There’s a version of you out there—the one who never downloaded the app, never posted the photo, never crafted a caption with the strategic placement of emojis and self-doubt.

She exists in a timeline where validation isn’t measured in likes, and where her thoughts end in silence instead of a comment thread.

She’s Not Obsessed with Being Perceived

This version of you doesn’t think about curating her personality into bite-sized bios. She wears outfits because they feel good, not because they photograph well. She never once googled ‘how to go viral accidentally.’

She moves through the world untagged. Her brunches are undocumented. Her skincare routine? Private. Radical stuff.

Her Self-Esteem Is... Quiet

She doesn’t perform confidence. She doesn’t craft humble brags. Her insecurities don’t echo across platforms because they were never posted in the first place.

She’s still human, still flawed, but her self-worth isn’t tied to a grid. She has bad days, but they’re hers—not packaged with a filter and an inspirational caption.

She’s More Present, Less Edited

Without a camera always nearby, she watches the fireworks instead of filming them. She forgets what she wore last weekend and doesn’t care. Her memories are messy and unarchived—and more alive for it.

She hears compliments and lets them land. She forgets to check in, not because she’s cold, but because she’s present.

But She Misses Out, Too

She doesn’t get the memes. She doesn’t see the news until it hits the radio. Group chats sometimes leave her behind, not out of malice—but because she’s unreachable.

She’s not above it all. She just opted out. And sometimes, that makes her lonely in a world where being offline feels like being invisible.

Maybe You Miss Her

Maybe when you’re tired of the scroll, the highlight reels, and the pressure to be engaging, you think about her. The version of you that doesn’t post, doesn’t track, doesn’t compare.

She’s still there. Not frozen in time—but waiting quietly. In the part of you that wants to matter without having to be seen.
