Lately, I’ve stopped opening social media as much.
It’s not just about being busy,
but more about how it slowly shifts my sense of direction every time I scroll,
so I’ve been intentionally creating some distance.
Even when I’m not trying to compare myself,
I can feel that comparison happening somewhere in the background.
And before I notice it,
I feel slightly disconnected from what I actually want to do,
and what really matters to me.
I don’t think social media is bad,
but depending on how I use it, it can easily turn into noise.
So for now, I’m taking a step back
and giving myself space to return to my own thoughts.
What I want to build going forward isn’t something wide or performative,
but something smaller and more grounded—
a quiet connection with people who naturally resonate with how I think.
Just sharing where I am lately.
