I'm breaking up with Instagram, Facebook, & Twitter for good!

For the Aries new moon, I did an intense fast. Well, it may not be considered intense to some… but for me, it was quite hefty! Especially, cold turkey! For 3 days, I went without:

• My Phone (calls, texting, music)

• TV

• All Social Media sites

• No internet surfing

• No people

It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, honestly. I spent the time journaling, talking to God, meditating, and planning content for my YouTube channel. For those 3 days, I had the most vivid dreams and I got sooooooo much content planned and recorded.

I came back for 1 day, before realizing, it was time to officially break-up with Social Media. This entire time, I was living in a facade of reality. When I thought about my analytics and even my business traction; very few customers came from my daily posts and videos.

It was nice to communicate with others but it was taking a toll on me.

The way the applications work, they reward you when you post and scroll more…. and it was becoming too much for my mental health and productivity. I was tired of just being something to see and entertain, whenever I came across someone’s feed. I got tired of tracking my engagement numbers to keep my media kit updated for sponsors. The vanity metrics were too much and I wish I could just turn them all off.

I’m finally ready to live and enjoy my life without others knowing what my every move is and without posting for others to simply be nosey or market. Or even the continuous traumatic news. It’s honestly not good for mental health.

Here’s to living life again!

This was a long time coming and I can’t wait to live without technology running my everyday! Have you ever taken a break from social media? Have you ever felt like you needed one?

Lessons from Chapter 32 of my life. Happy Birthday to me!

Chapter 32: Taught me what it means to truly be free. What does it mean to do what sets your heart ablaze with passion, without fear of judgement?

It wasn’t comfortable at first and there were a lot of tears shed, but a butterfly emerged from the chrysalis.

Connected. Connected to truth and exalting that which is right within.

Growth. Growth through toxic patterns and generational curses that serve no one but pain in human form.

Focus on self. Our only responsibility is self. I am responsible for no-one’s actions, outcomes, or healing ... but mine alone. No one else is responsible for mine either.

Honesty. Be honest with myself. What do I really want to do with my life? Why did I make certain decisions? How can I change that which I do not like?

These are all lessons 32 pushed me to learn.

I wanted to share these with you all, because I feel that someone else may have needed to see it as well. As you keep going along your journey, work to become comfortable with being uncomfortable. When you emerge, turn your pain into purpose and divine wisdom. Life is so beautiful, when we remove ourselves from that which is no longer living.

Can you relate to any of these lessons?

✨Always be real, always be true. Don’t be afraid to do what you want to do, PERIODT!
