“Instagram now supports 3:4 aspect ratio photos - the format that almost every phone camera defaults to. From now on, if you upload a 3:4 image, it’ll now appear just exactly as you shot it.” -Adam Mosseri (shared on threads)! Wow! 🟥🟩🟨

These are 3:4 ratio.
Do you prefer the image with one square 🟥, two squares 🟩🟥or three 🟨🟩🟥? I couldn’t decide!

🤍🩵🤍”There’s power in perspective—not simply a different point of view but a higher, elevated perspective. The view that comes from stepping up and back, getting a broader sense of things.” - John Lazar

Saw this and thought I’d share:

“You are what you think. Literally.

Emotions aren’t problems. They’re signals.

Anger means your boundaries were crossed.

Anxiety means you’re living in the future and you need to come back to the present moment.

Habits shape your life, not motivation. Change your habits change your life.

Your past is a book. Read it but don’t live in it.

If you are triggered by others that is a reflection. It is something you haven’t healed inside or something you haven’t fully accepted.

Control is a myth. The only power you have are the decisions that you make.

End of the day you are the architect of your life. It is your design so make it beautiful.”
