Goodbye Social Media, Hello Blog…

As the title suggests, I’ve decided to step away from social media. The doom-scrolling, the lack of engagement on my shit…honestly it’s not doing much for my mental health. I consistently found myself feeling worse and terrible about myself after being on there and I just don’t really want that in my life anymore. Further, my skin’s been getting a little tight these days and it’s not just from the weight gain either. I need to do some changing and growing and I’m just not going to do that without leaving behind some of the anchors. Social media is certainly one of those for me. Like booze and cigarettes before it, I feel compelled to be on it, always checking it, always scrolling, always feeling like I need my phone near me just in case.

I’m over it.

I’m starting the blog so that I have a place to show my art, primarily the pieces still in progress, updates from photo trips, and general updates on my projects. I understand that this is some manner of delusion I’m willingly engaging in, but at this point I don’t much care. Life itself is a pointless exercise unless we find something to do, and for me it’s to create. I won’t lie, there’s a feeling inside me that I have to create, that there is some underlying reason to create. Maybe there’s something that needs to get out of me. Maybe there’s something I’m supposed to give the world. Maybe I’m just really fucking delusional. Who knows? Who cares?

I don’t. Maybe. I mean I have to care some if I write that right?
