Zara McDermott has taken a step back from social media in recent months because she finds it a “negative space” and is focusing on being “more present” in her own life
Reality star Zara McDermott is hitting pause on the “negative space” vibes of social media.
The 28 year old reality star and documentary filmmaker, who’s been romancing One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson, 33, since March, has shared that she’s taking a step back from the online world to focus on being “more present” in her life.
She shared with her followers: “I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who messaged me with regards to the story I posted the other day. If you didn’t see it; I spoke about developing my next documentary and how I’ve been thinking of how to create a project about domestic abuse, coercive control and tech abuse’.
“I had thousands of message and I’m still going through them, but I wanted to say the biggest thank you ever. It’s so nice speaking to you all because I’ve definitely taken a bit of a step back from socials to focus on my documentaries and other work / just focusing on being more present recently.
“Social media feels quite heavy and a negative space sometimes… so to be able to feel like we can work together to do something super positive is a great feeling. thank you again. forever grateful to all of you who continue to support the work i do. it really means SO much.”
After parting ways with her beau of five years, Sam Thompson, 32, in January, Zara has been navigating a fresh start. Meanwhile, Sam has opened up about his challenging year and how participating in the recent Soccer Aid charity event has been a source of solace for him.
On his podcast ‘Staying Relevant’, he shared: “I have never been so low but also so high at the same time… One of the things that I will say is that mentally I don’t think there was a better time for me to do that.”
He continued, revealing the intensity of his experience: “I left a lot of the year that I’ve had on that road, and I didn’t speak for an hour and a half. I was riding the bike while crying for an hour and a half just tears streaming down my face just riding like I have never ridden before.”
He concluded with a poignant reflection: “I have never felt so emotionally depleted but also at peace.”
