Daisy Ridleyhas returned to social media, several years after sayingshe’d never be back.
The following year, she toldGlamourthat she is protective of her privacy: “It’s not good for me, personally. I’m just not equipped for it. I’m super sensitive — not too sensitive, but I really feel things.”
On Monday, however, Ridley returned to Instagram,sharing a photoof herself sipping tea while doing self-care rituals.
She wrote in the caption, “Coming out of social media hibernation refreshed, recharged, and ready for what I’m calling my ‘Year of Yes’. (And that’s the tea.) picture courtesy of my <3 glam@lipstickkellyand@dayaruci.”

In her 2017 interview withGlamour, Ridley added, “Ihave to come first, because if I am not healthy — I wasstruggling with anxietylast year — if I’m not mentally healthy, or I’m depleted from sharing so much, I won’t have anything left for when people approach me.”
Additionally, she told Buzzfeed News' morning showAM to DMin 2019 that she would never be reactivating her social-media presence.
“I honestly think now with social media and stuff, it’s great to have freedom of expression, but I do feel like people think opinions have so much weight,” Ridley said at the time.
The actress added, “I don’t really think bad vibes should have the sun shone on them. Like, I don’t want to read your thing.”

“Maybe it’s a good thing I didn’t have Insta during quarantine, or else I would have posted these. Oh, well, still posting them,” she joked.
On herInstagram Story, the actress said of her return to social media, “Hi again.”
Since departing Instagram in 2016, Ridley has starred in several films, includingMurder on the Orient Express,OpheliaandChaos Walking, and reprised the role of herStar Warscharacter Rey in the trilogy finaleStar Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker.
