Lately, I’ve been feeling the weight of always being “on.” Running a creative business online means a lot of time spent sharing, posting, promoting—and while I’m incredibly proud of what I’ve built, I realized I was no longer enjoying the day-to-day moments. My brain was constantly translating everything into content. Every quiet moment became a missed opportunity. And that mindset started to dim the joy I used to feel.
I found myself sinking into a low I haven’t known before—emotionally drained, overwhelmed, and disconnected from the very things that used to bring me life.
So I’ve decided to take a break. For the next two weeks, I’m stepping away from social media.
No posts. No scrolling. No pressure.
Instead, I’ll be spending time doing things that fill my cup: working on some personal creative projects just for fun, getting my hands dirty in the garden, diving into books that have been waiting patiently on my shelf, and most importantly—looking around instead of down at a glowing screen.
I know this little business of mine won’t disappear if I stop showing up online every day. And maybe, just maybe, stepping back will help me come back with more clarity, more heart, and a better relationship with both my work and myself.
If you’re reading this and you’ve felt the same—I see you. It’s okay to pause. It’s okay to rest. Real life is still the most beautiful thing.
See you soon. 🌱
