can’t recall the last time i intentionally logged out of this app and took a pause, but it’s way overdue.  i’m not exactly sure what’s ahead for me here but there will be ongoing changes as i commit to breaking addiction.  let’s admit, there is so much power in storytelling and community which is why i’ve created @blumthepodcast .  sadly, we’ve lost track of what it means to connect and have become more and more reliant on our cyber presence than our physical and mental presence.  social media has trained us to compare, invest, crave, demand, fabricate… and the toxicities continue to multiply.  if 2020-2022 has shown how delicate and precious our time is on earth.  time when we’re together; not REALLY together.  scrolling on a screen is just not it.  my kids deserve better, my partner deserves better, i deserve better, and so do you.  although i’ve upheld some unhealthy habits for too long, i’m extremely thankful and empowered acknowledging these truths out loud.  stepping away for one week to reflect and recharge.  if there is anything in the world of ‘influencing’ that i’m able to convey, it’s that we don’t need these apps to validate our worth.  remember- your life is so much better than watching someone else’s.
