This is so bittersweet. I'm obviously happy for her, to see that she's decided to put herself and her mental health first. But it's sad to think... that we are not going to see much of her anymore. We'll miss her, for sure. But we wish her the best

As strange as it may sound, social media is a mental drain.
I fully understand her decision. 
 

[Dark Angel 202,543]

i agree that this video/announcement is strange, she sounds like she's about to cry throughout the whole video and she doesn't sound very assured... maybe she just doesn't care about social media and maybe it's an accumulation of the past year or so, since qftc, it just seems... strange... i feel like weird saying that because i've quit using social media mostly for my own mental wellbeing, so i can understand if that's a part of it... but how is she going to stay connected to her fans? how is she going to promote & announce? i guess she has twitter, but... idk...

"Ugh Lana won't retire stfu"

 

OKAY WELL EXPLAIN THIS BITCH 

 

Spoiler

Okay I'm being dramatic but I mean...

Idk what to think. Part of me is relieved to know she’s continuing to make music, poetry, and albums in general. But part of me feels like she may still not be doing well mentally? I don’t want to make assumptions, because I have no idea. It’s just odd - she seems so prolific and yet so… frustrated at the same time, and it’s just not very clear. I wish we could make her feel better. If it’s just a social media hiatus, I understand, too. Like others have said, just hope she’s okay!

 

(Also, I love her w/ all my heart but she changes her mind a lot, too, so we end up with emotional whiplash all the time. )

She specifically says that she's not retiring from recording and writing. And this will at least stop people from complaining that she's not posting enough.

her selfies  i’m so upset i sometimes find myself scrolling through her instagram when i’m feeling sad or bored. i understand this is for her mental health and stuff but

also. i went to bed at 1am and 2 hours later i woke up all sweaty and hot and lana had literally JUST posted that she was leaving social media 

[Dark Angel 202,543]

the fact that i don't even have instagram yet i feel sad

She's gonna send us pre order links through the ether 

[IanadeIrey 62,118]

I think this video message speaks to her wish to live a simple life — I wonder if having a very public, large following on social media that anyone can access at any time creates this feeling of no boundaries (even if we can control what we post, there is still some psychological element to lack of privacy).

 

I think this action could be a way of asserting control over how accessible you are, and of course, for someone with a legacy as grand and profound as Lana, that’s bound to create some internal conflict when this is your life’s work and passion. I’m sending her nothing but love and I wish her peace.

...will her feed disappear ???Pls no

[drugmunny 8,880]

"i have other jobs i'm doing that require privacy and transparency"

hmm... i wonder what that means exactly

[FredRed 4,856]

That video was sweet and a bit creepy.  Like it was on tv in 1967 and we are just now getting the signal from it.
