hello :) itās been a while since iāve used this app. i decided to log back in b/c i just deactivated my social media accounts. with the tik-tok ban coming up, i made the decision to not only delete tik-tok but also twitter. fuck zuck and elon. itās disappointing to leave behind the pockets on the internet that i considered my community.
i didnāt deactivate my insta b/c i have a ton of memories from there. iāve been posting on insta since the 8th grade haha. so thereās a ton of sentimental stuff on there. the app is deleted from my phone and i privated it. itāll now be like a museum/archive since i wonāt use it.
iām not anti social media myself, i love the community aspect of social media and sharing my interests with like minded individuals. hence why i returned to this app. iāll prob post a lot more on here (or not) iāll see. but iām honestly getting sick of tech bros ruining things for everyone else :/

Honestly, it feels kinda liberating š§āāļø
Most of the people I had on there were my high school friends. Ever since I moved to a different country for uni, weāve naturally drifted apart. We donāt really keep in touch anymore, whether itās video calls, texting, or anything else.
I kept it for so long because I thought it would be nice to see what my high school friends were up to and maybe update them on my life too. But after some serious journaling and being honest with myself, I realised thereās really no point in holding on to it anymore.
I was keeping it around to give myself a sense of false hopeāhoping that one day weād reconnect and things would go back to how they were. But deep down, I know the chances of that are pretty slim.
Weāve all moved on and grown in different directions, and thatās okay.

do yāall ever think about getting off social media but then you worry about how youāll keep in touch with your friends? iāve been thinking about this a lot bc i wanna delete ig but itās where i talk to some of my rly close friends. i hate that it monopolizes connection like that. but i also had this realization that like the people i follow/follow me on ig are not āfriendsā theyāre just superficial connections. real, deep, long meaningful relationships (which iām craving) i think do require me to get the fuck offline and take the time i was mindlessly scrolling and putting it back into myself or my friends is where iāll see the greatest positive feedback. and being PRESENT in those relationships. i feel like this is what that book the dopamine generation is about butttttt havenāt read it yet.

I made a mini album in 6 days and set a ton of constraints so that I would finish it. it was a life-changing experience to be honest and now I am more at peace !!! it is called Folk Noise to Fall Asleep To and I am happy it exists.
where do people listen to music here? this is the Spotify link but I have it on most streaming services so that my parents could listen too (they do not understand SoundCloud and Bandcamp)

I started doing this when I was 30. there is always something interesting born from these images. years from now, I will step away, far enough away to see a pattern emerge from the chaos.

this tiny iridescent butterfly I found outside of the school I pass when I walk my dog
I almost kept walking but it was so radiant with magic that I turned around and plucked it from the sidewalk. I reflect on its essence daily
Lorde speaks about the concept of amulets in a recent video on Rolling Stone and I feel there is deep power in observing protection and fortune in every day objects, which in many ways can act as a foundation to support authentic artistry
