logging back in: on my terms

For a long time, I was stuck endlessly scrolling through apps, watching the world go by.

I felt the need to update every little move I made. Vacations, dinner outings, new outfits. It all went online.

Social media can be a nonstop stream of entertainment but it’s also a constant comparison game. Not just about your appearance, but where everyone else seems to be in life.

In attempt to heal, I deleted Tik Tok, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter. Making sure to remove the apps from my phone to resist temptation.

Working in a career that thrives on being “trendy,” stepping away from social media was isolating.

But in that silence, I found something I desperately needed: presence.

These words were written long before they found you. Crafted in quieter moments so I could stay grounded in the life I’m living now.

I put down my phone and stopped making myself available 24/7 to the outside world. Being truly present with my wife and my daughters became my lifeline.

Without the noise, I could focus on what mattered most- my family, my healing, and me.

This blog is my way back into the online world, but on my terms. It’s a space where I can share my art freely without fear of judgment, counting likes, or worrying about trends.

Here, I post what I want and how I want, without the pressure of what others might think.

If it resonates with you, I’m glad you’re here. And if it doesn’t, that’s okay, too.

I want this to be a place where honesty and kindness thrive. Where we support each other’s messy, beautiful journeys without comparison or competition.

A place where you can be unapologetically you, and I can be unapologetically me. 

Come as you are, stay as long as you need. 

I’m so glad you’re here.
