I don’t like using social media, but I know it’s importance with sharing my work. Croissant strikes a balance that lets me send the same message to three different social networks without needing any of those apps on my phone. It’s simply a megaphone without any of the negatives.

Social Media
Tapestry
Tapestry has entered the room. Think Twitter, but for more than just one location: Blogs, social media, YouTube, Reddit, etc. are all are weaving together into one single timeline. This is now how I see the internet.
I Deleted My TikTok
The dopamine. The constant scrolling. The half naked girls. The never ending cycle for my attention. Even though I know the trend is heading towards that being the future, it was too loud. I had nothing in common with it, and it brought me more exhaustion than enjoyment. (Not to mention seeing people I know act weird just to cater to the latest trends on the platform). I’ll happily step away from all of that. Letting it go was one of the easiest decisions I’ve ever made.
Create Like There Is No Metrics
Create like there is no metrics. There’s no followers. There’s no likes. There’s no comments. The only thing waiting for you is the canvas.
It’s all distractions that stop of us from doing our best work. Amazing things start to happen when you free yourself from all the metrics. All the vanity points. When it comes down to it, it’s just you. Show yourself.
