We all do, at some point.
I have been taking an ever so slight, unintentional, break from social media.
Part of me feels bad for doing it, as I know that so much of what I do relies on written communication - especially through social media.
The only way that people are going to hear my voice is if I speak with experience, insight and intent.
Being a writer, author and mental health advocate, I realise the importance of social media in developing opportunities and for people all over the globe to know who I am.
That might sound grandiose or pretentious to you, but at the end of the day, it's true.
If I don't share my story, who will?
If I don't speak up, who will hear me?
If I don't show it, who will know the value I can bring to the table? After all, my family didn't know I could write creatively until a few years ago.
It sunk under the radar that is my mind — and hid — until my writing and communication skills took center stage.
If we put all that aside, we take ourselves down a slightly different train of thought...
If I don't look after myself, who will?
If I spend too much time on social media, it is taking away from time that can be spent working.
My chronic illnesses are going to take up more time and energy than I would like.
With that in mind, don't forget to check out the link below. You can find me and my writing in various places.
