Back & Better

Over a year away, and I think it’s time for a resurgence. Don’t you?

Sometimes a break is needed and this hiatus of mine was very necessary. I have found social media to be bitter sweet, but more bitter than sweet on my end. On one hand, it is a great tool as far as marketing and promotions go; but it can also be a pool of negativity if you have not gotten to the point of cultivating an intentional timeline of only accounts that foster positive energy. For me,  I was not there a year ago and desired a clean exit. Comparison Is the thief of joy and I found myself doing a lot of comparing feeling the subtle pressures of social media. I couldn’t tell the difference between my own opinions and outside influences because I had seen probably 30 others’ opinions before I was able to form my own. Specifically, after a family tragedy, I actually felt pressure to be productive. I was proud of so many people doing so many great things, but I wanted to do nothing. I wanted to rest. I wanted to remain present in the moment. I wanted to spend more time with my family and friends. I wanted to reverse the instincts I formed of posting first and enjoying second just for others to see. I have come to enjoy the peace and exclusivity I’ve found by removing social media from my life. I have been able to strengthen my mind, read more, learn more, and hone my sense of self. While I intend to continue all of these things being back on social media, I am excited to be back  & use this platform as a resource to further my passions. In the words of Zoe Saldana,

“I don’t want to be anybody else but me, and by knowing this, I want to continue figuring out who the f**k I am…that’s it.”

See y’all soon !

Keep it G,
