I've been a little underground lately. Taking a break from social media has been by far one of the best decisions I could make for my mental health. I found myself so caught up in the "cyber world" that I didn't realize I was drifting away from myself, my 'ohana, my pups and the things I love to do. This break has truly put life into perspective. Of course this is an incredibly short way of describing it all but I also have found I don't need to share every piece of my life here. I can pick and choose, especially to be able to protect myself both physically and mentally.
I've still been creating behind the scenes and refinding my art "style". For a minute there I felt like my art was robotic in a way. Like I was doing the actions but my heart wasn't in it, which it was triggered thus break. Now while I create, I'm feeling happier, I'm dancing while I create, I'm singing and enjoying myself entirely. It's not a chore anymore.
I would highly suggest that every single person who plays on the social media world to take a break from it all and just be you in the real world. The cyber world can be so toxic, demeaning, disruptive, draining and tear you down to your core to make you feel like there's nothing left of you. It can also be connective, curious, inspiring and make you laugh. This becomes a matter of balance in each of our lives, to which of course is different for each of us.
I'm happy to be back more fully so you'll be seeing more of me again 😋 I hope you've all had an epic weekend, month, year so far.
