hey :) i know it’s been a while and yes i’m alive 😂 initially i only planned on stepping away for a bit but it ended up stretching endlessly (at least that’s what it felt like). i figured it’s time for me to resurface from the void <3 lots of changes have happened in my personal life, both good and bad, and i’ve had a lot of time to reflect on the momentum and the trajectory that keeps me going every day - whether they truly align with who i want to be. an important realization (out of many) i’ve had is my relationship with social media (shocking huh), and the unhealthy mindsets/habits that I have unknowingly slipped into overtime. on top of relying on it as an emotional crutch, i realized it became difficult for me to engage with it in a productive and authentic way when it slowly became more performative and obligatory than anything, which inevitably took away the energy from what truly matters. It has somewhat distorted my motivation and made me question what exactly im doing. ofc i’m not saying it’s all terrible, because deep down i still have a lot of love for social media, and believe they are more beneficial than harmful when used strategically. it’s about building a healthier relationship with the platforms and engage with mindfulness (which i’m still very actively working on), as supposed to feeling like being dragged behind a leash. needless to say, i miss being here. i will share more of what i’ve been up to / working on soon and slowly get back into posting more consistently. i hope you’ll enjoy whatever is coming next :) and if you made it this far through my ramble, i love u <3
