Dear Instagram,

I want to thank you for a lot: the storage place for my pictures, the interactions with my friends, the confidence boost you sometimes give me, and some nice filters.

Thank you for always being there if I'm bored while sitting in a doctor's office or on a long car ride. You're a great way to pass time, and I'll always be thankful for that. But you're also the biggest distraction when I have 2 papers to write and and exam to study for...

I also want to mention that the editing that you provide for us is very thoughtful and helpful. Your filters give me a tan when I need it and some coloring that really benefits my eyes. I take no shame in using your filters, Instagram.

Thank you for being an outlet for my creativity through pictures. I now have an excuse to stop everything and take an artsy pic. And I'm sorry to my followers for the multiple posts a day...Instagram and it's ability to upload more than once a day made me do it.

Thanks for letting me see into the lives of others who I follow and follow me.

You're great & I love you,

An Instagrammer

P.S- Thank you for the like notifications. It's fun to scroll through them.
