Update – January 25, 2025
So, I know I posted this back in November, but the prophetic parts of me knew what was to come. There’s no escaping what’s happening in the Western World, especially if you’re plugged into mainstream news, social media, and rapid changes occurring in your day-to-day lives. I have chosen to divest from certain popular apps, platforms, and consumptive informational habits. Especially when it comes to mainstream media. It’s not good for your soul, mental health, or overall well-being. By design, it’s intended to ambush you with an onslaught of oppressive and negative headlines that give you an overall feeling of anger, disappointment, confusion, and hopelessness. The frequency of information in the form of viral video clips, memes, gif’s, and posts is by design, too much to keep up with. It ultimately leads to feelings of disconnection from your humanity, and community, and can distort your purpose.
Please, people, pause on the information you absorb. Disconnect from the world of 0’s and 1’s, social platforms, television, and phones. Breathe. Talk to your neighbors. Find your commonality in the spaces you exist, discuss your talents and how they can serve others, and trade your gifts.
Together, we can get through this. As long as we don’t post about it but be about it.
