wow!! To say that I'm happy is quite the understatement. Upon browsing around last night, I stumbled upon the blog I created awhile ago that I thought was forever deleted. I recall the logged on to write, as I did everynight to discover it was deleted. I called and researched how to retrieve my writings but everyone told me it was impossible. I mourned the loss of all my writings blog I loved, my outlet from a long days work to type my thoughts and tap into creativity, fashion, and whatever the hell I wanted to.

I took this deletion as a time to "sign off."

So, I've made a conscious decision to simplify life and to disconnect from social media besides the couple sporadic insta pics I've posted over the past year. One reason being that I think social media, although a great way to reconnect, can be a bit of a fantasy facade of life that often distracts others from living in the present.

It's human nature to want to share beautiful pictures, to share important life moments, and to express view points to others. For me personally, I've found life without social media more peaceful and in the present. I can capture more beautifully the memories I hold with my own eyes and heart than behind a lens with the hope to share it with others. This has been one of the healthy decisions I've made this past year that has led to a healthier and happier me.

I don't know what's going on in peoples lives from high school, acquaintances from college, and coworkers but instead I focus on on the people I have a personal connection to, the ones that I stay in constant contact with, and who I consider and cherish as true friends. This is what I care about now.
