Conclusion cats and food make me happy. I feel like I’ve turned a corner these past few weeks, in the sense of letting go of my social media fear and #fomo - I’d often dread having to be present online especially if my heart wasn’t in it or I simply had nothing I felt like sharing. Being caught between the importance of authenticity and also being someone who uses social media as a way to support my career and let’s be honest profits from time to time off this platform. I guess like many of us I have a love hate relationship. I love meeting new people online and being able to share snippets of my life but I also find that social media takes up a lot of my mental energy. I used to become incredibly disheartened when I would lose followers and take it personally. I normally find it happens when I wasn’t posting as frequently and I became obsessed with having to be present just so my numbers wouldn’t drop. I’m honestly not too sure what’s changed perhaps I’m reminding myself that my success did not originate from being online this was something that grew over time and if my online presence and followers diminishes I will still exist and I will still be successful because that’s what I do I sees opportunities in places that aren’t necessarily apparent at first. Finding a balance that you feel comfortable with is so important if you are to maintain a healthy online presence.
