I took a break from social media for a while. I'm now only on Twitter, but I don't have the app on my phone; I'll only go on it on my laptop if I ever get the inspo to post. I've become a poster and ghoster, no scrolling, just posting my ridiculous thoughts when I get the urge then I'm outie, hehe.
I've come to realize that social media is one of the bigger problems in our society that needs to be dealt with. As someone who was an endless scroller on TikTok, and even participated in the app myself to promote my business and musings around peace, I decided to delete it off my phone, amongst all other social media apps, more because I didn't like the idea of participating with apps that were intentionally trying to get me addicted.
I'd love to just be on Substack myself, but I too am trying to figure out how to grow my business off the social media grid. Thank you for the rec on the podcast btw!! Definitely checking that out
Yes the podcast is great and she has great resources like this article about 100 ways to share your work without social media with a toolkit to boot: http://www.ameliahruby.com/blog/100-ways-to-share
Thank you for sharing where you're at with these things, too! It feels helpful to hear about your journey with the tension of social media. I agree that it is a big problem in our society. It seems the only way we can deal with it is on an individual level. So, here we go, eh?! I got your back! Let me know if you ever need support on this journey <3
Thanks love! I will miss so many things: getting updates from friends like you there, accessing mandate updates and bio hacking tips and philosophy bites and astrology takes, art I wouldn't have otherwise been advertised/exposed to and ahhh the list goes on! I say after setting my phone down from chronically looking at instagram for the past 30 minutes. ! Got on there to hype some things I'm doing, wondering what my day would have looked like without it. Soon! Soon.
Congrats on the one year!

I'll miss your insta presence when you dip! But totally understand and support that. Social media's juice is by no means always worth the squeeze 🍋💦
