Rediscovering Life Beyond the Digital Noise: A Shift in my Online Landscape


I’ve been reflecting on how much of my time and energy is spent in different digital neighborhoods. While I enjoy technology, it’s time to rediscover life beyond quick videos and baiting. I deleted TikTok after it went dark, and even if it comes back, this feels like the right moment to bid the app adieu. I’ve been off Instagram since March 2024, and now I’ve decided to change how I use Facebook as well. I’ll still gather information about my favorite people and communities but I won’t use it for my own life updates, photo sharing, or engagement any longer. (No phone app either, just occasional desktop access.)

This shift grows from a desire to live more creatively and cultivate personal projects, giving me the room to focus on my own life rather than just watching others live theirs. ❤️

Privacy is also a priority—I’ve grown uncomfortable with how much access companies have to personal data, regardless of what country they’re based. That’s why I’m moving towards my Blogger platform, where I have more control and can share updates free from ads or monetization.

To some, this change may seem small but as I embrace it, I’m excited to see the new stories, insights, and creative sparks that bloom.
