Hey...this feels like I've been gone for a while, but it's really been a couple of days lol
I've been pouring into my YouTube channel, and I love it so much. My most recent reel got over 100 views! That's new for me. Maybe a small milestone for some but oh my...to have as many views as subscribers is really a cool feeling for a creative person like me who thrives on reciprocity and relatability...
Instagram wasn't feeding my urge quite as much. It's too...personal for me. YouTube is a passive way to build a community whereas insta takes interaction. It literally thrives off of interacting between related people...Not my cup of tea since I don't know these people anymore. At least on YouTube, if I'm found and followed, it's out of interest, not obligation of familiarity. I miss scrolling but boy, have I missed creating even more. I never realized how beautiful my mind is when I dust it off a little bit. My brain is not the only concrete rose sprouting from my earthly vessel, but I digress...
Painting is a thing for me. I paint or doodle every day to get my fix instead of scrolling. inspiration was hard at first. All I could think to draw were different variations of turtles. But one day I realized that was better than nothing. Something in me is calling for this turtle energy to be released...slow, careful, wise, patient, constantly acclimating to the elements around it as best as it can, only to survive and thrive.... until a bus comes along while I'm crossing the street.
Is that grim? I'm sorry. I really am but I'm not erasing it. That's too much effort...to go back. Moving forward is the motto. Online and in real life lol.
Check me out over here though 🧚🏾♀️
