One Year Without Social Media

 It is amazing How something as yellow And as charming  As a rubber duck Can bring so much To a room                                                                  *Thank you Olive for thinking of us all

What do you reach for to self-soothe? Angry, frustrated, or lost in the dark, I used my phone to distract myself, From these feelings, Now I am exposing, My thought choices, It helps me answer, Why this thought feeling, Was my first choice. A gift from a student

 I am an introvert Always on the verge of spinning Spinning away or Too far within I have been feeling dizzy This break Is exactly  What I need Today has not even begun, but I like forward planning. This is my first true day of being off social media. Social media, for me, is Facebook, instagram and Tik Tok. It really is a powerful and an amazing tool, but for me, social media sucks, literally. It is a vacuum that takes me away from being me. I am not sure who I am anymore. So, I am reclaiming my energy and funneling it into activities on purpose, places where there are no passive nudges of who I should or could be.  I like photography. I like writing. I like early mornings.

I am a bit early As if I am worried I’ll be late
