Death of Social Media — Now what?
Social Media MIA
Bet you didn’t notice, but I’ve been MIA on social media almost all summer 🌞
Why? Well, let's talk about it.
“Some say social media is dead and it never should have begun. ”
It’s no secret that social media can be a real time and energy suck. Plus, its impact on our mental health? Hmmm...
Some say social media is dead and it never should have begun.
So, I decided to take a breather.
And This is What Happened
Life Didn’t Collapse! The world kept on turning 🌍 while I took my social media hiatus. I gained more time and a new perspective — turns out, you can be social without social media, who knew?
I gained more time and a new perspective.
So, What's Been Cooking? (And you can do this too) It was empowering to know that I had the power to brighten someone’s day even as a 5-year-old girl. This feeling stuck with me, and now my mission as a visual artist is to spread optimism. The only difference is that I swapped speaking to random strangers with bold colours and shapes.
IRL Connections ❤️
I’ve been diving into real-life events and art gallery openings. Meeting cool people, having actual conversations — turns out chatting with 10 real humans in one evening beats 100 online followers any day!
Reading more 📖
I've been digging into the impact of psychedelics on our mental wellbeing. It’s fascinating!
I discovered that scientists were onto something in the '60s, but the war on drugs unjustly halted these efforts.
Exciting news — I'm gearing up to launch an art project on this topic.
Chasing Dreams 🌈
To make my psychedelic project dreams a reality, I've been busy applying for artist residencies and grants. Fingers crossed 🤞
Getting Fit 💪
Ever had those “I can't wear this any more” moments? Yeah me too. That’s why I decided to get off my bum and do something about it.
I’m using Nike Training Club and Lifesum apps to be on track. No affiliate. Just free useful apps. So I wanted to let you know.
Key takeaways:
I’m not quitting social media but rather treating it as a part of my balanced social/business diet.
Re-evaluate your goal My goal is to work with clients who share the same values, not 10K followers.
Personal trend: more IRL & AFK 💥 for direct impact.
FYI — My favourite social at the moment is Bluesky, a decentralised invite-only platform. Give me a shout if you want an invite.
