I want to fully be myself with this.

Positives, Negatives, everything.

Not knowing what is going on in the world is probably one of the funniest things. I have made plans for the day without knowing we have a huge storm coming in, or drive to a different state not knowing that we are under a state of emergency because of a snowstorm coming in. I don’t care about politics or anyones political views are, you do you and support whatever you want just don’t touch kids. Not having politics shoved down my throat at every scroll has been pretty nice.

Being open with friends about how upsetting it is that after 4 moths of being off social media and never seeing their kids anymore and here we are 2 years later and in that time I haven’t received a single photo of them. Crazy how life works sometimes. I don’t think that texting should be such an inconvenience when used to you would snapchat almost daily. People just don’t live outside of apps anymore.

It is unfortunate but I have come to terms with it and have learned that ‘‘it is what it is’’. I cannot force people to be in or apart of my life. A lot of positive things though. I don’t scroll when I am in a social place, I don’t spend hours at home with my face in my phone I am more engaged in life with everything around me.

It has not been easy getting used to but thinking about everything it has been worth it. I can say that after taking a few months break from the website I do miss writing these and sharing, even if it is with no one it is still nice going back and seeing my work and what I am learning and trying new.

I made a damn photo book, it was awesome and I have so many ideas for more I just don’t want to get carried away like I always do and end up with 20 books in a month.

Focus on yourself and your loved ones, that’s pretty much about it. Understand that people have made it a convenience to post on social media daily and an inconvenience to actually live outside of social media. It’s pretty fucking weird.
