Let start at the beginning.

Why am I choosing to stop social media for 6 months?

My relationship with social media, has been a real love and hate relationship since the beginning,

On my side, every time I slick on that button “post”, I feel like I’m giving away a little bit of myself. I’m sharing something that’s personal, too personal. But the game of sharing and seeing the reactions, who would see my post, share what I wanted to say is very tempting. It seems like a good way to post things you want to share, but then you are flooded with every other people opinions and ideas… you completely have a front row-seat of everyone’s lives.  

I am a private person; I tried to put myself out there when I started my business. Not because I liked it, but because this is what needed to be done to grow on social. Every time I posted something with my face on it, I had this little uneasy feeling, like something was not right.

I have been fighting with myself for a while on whether or not I should continue using social media. I realised that I gain much out of it, expect seeing thing that make me feel not really successful.

I like my peace, I like the world that goes slowly. And I am trying to find this wherever I can.

The world is not slow, not easy, so what matters is how I react to it.

This does not have the vocation to be perfect, or even to be read by anyone else.

It is just my slow place where I write stuff to get them out of my mind. Let's see that as an online journal.
