I have to Admit Something …
I am tired of sharing my life on the internet …. I mean, I’ve been over it for some time now but I keep going because I know my voice and light helps so many people. Once upon a time it use to feel good to share online. Those were the good ol Days!
Where Algorithm didn’t matter and comments and likes weren’t even a thing.
I’ve gotten to a space in life where I truly crave being with the love of my life, my kids, family & friends. Doing things like camping , hiking , road trips, creating memories. If documented, it is because we want to .. Not because we have to keep up with the Algorithm.
Now the onlyyyyyy pickle I’m in is how do I pivot from here ?
I’m working on becoming a corporate girlie because .. well … being a Self Employed girlie in this economy is NOT cute. Especially as a MAMA!? It has its perks butttt it giving very much “ The well is DRY “ … And the only thing I want to be dry are my toe nails after a fresh deluxe pedicure okieeeee!
To get through these feelings and thoughts I’ve been praying a lot , talking to family and friends , spending time with the kids , exploring new possibilities on LinkedIn , and spending time in solitude. I really enjoy not having 100 things on my to - do list everyday. I’ve been saying no to more outings and I totally don’t have FOMO because I’ve been there, done that. You go to these social events and everyone only cares about the photo opps and judging everyone else’s outfit. It’s not even fun anymore. You try and start a conversation with fellow creators and it’s like talking to a rock … No fun, no character. Not trying to bring the vibe down but I’m an old school lets dance , laugh and connect in real life type of girl. I mean even the people who work for the companies are programmed to “ think like an influencer “ such a buzz kill.
Bring back real people, real connection, bring back being present.
I mentioned I deleted IG off my phone for a bit and only Log in to post what I need for work but besides that, I have no desire to engage at this season in life ...
“ The Algorithm Can kiss my … shoe :) “
Not sure how I’m going to have you guys speak back to me on here but for now, I just need somewhere to write my thoughts without any feedback , or overly critical thinkers checking my Spelling errors …
…. If spelling errors make your skin crawl, find somewhere else to stick your nose spelling Bee champ … I’d hate to be the reason your skin crawls today or tomorrow ….
Ok thats enough for now. Love ya, thanks for reading
