At first I was a frustrated, I had yet to post and knew I needed to publish new content. This only lasted, surprisingly, a few minutes until I relished in the realization that I was free from the social media burden. I didn’t have to worry about how many likes I was getting or if someone was commenting on my post and making sure I respond within minutes. I didn’t mind-numbingly check peoples social accounts to see what they are up to or if they posted. I didn’t have to read peoples political or cultural rants. Normally I would freak out until the beloved social platforms were fixed, but yesterday was different. Yesterday I felt relieved. So what did I do instead of scrolling through people’s vacay and baby pics? I read, took a walk around the city, and I actually took the time to do my work instead of getting distracted by Insta Stories. Sure if this was the weekend I would probably have done more but a gal still needs to work. Money does not grow on trees apparently. Ugh, sigh. Anyway, since I have a concrete website, having Instagram down did not hurt my business. You can’t put all your eggs in one basket.
