Some of you may have seen my recent Social Media Post saying I'm currently not active on social media (sounds a little contradictory now I read it!).

But I have taken the decision to not post on my social media sites. In fact, I've taken a back seat on all socials, both personally and for business. I have been questioning socials for years, because I just don't enjoy them and IN MY OPINION they cause more harm than good. Remember when it used to be fun, and the most aggressive things got were when you threw a sheep at a friend (that was a thing right, it was a sheep?).

As you are probably aware I was rubbish at posting anything anyway, I don't know why this is, obviously as a designer I have imagination on free flow, so it should have been easy. But I found it stressful, always trying to find something interesting to post, spending way too long perfecting the post, waiting patiently to see if anyone liked it, feeling defeated when no one even saw it. Now I know that there are ways to 'boost' your reach and all those shenanigans, but honestly, I don't have time and I just don't get it!

I also have a ten year old girl, and it has opened my eyes to a lot of things that happen on social media - you've seen the news! I personally don't think it's healthy for kids, for any one really, and I want to promote this in my household. I can't expect my daughter to understand down the line if I don't start to put things in to practice now.

I know that people will object with me, I know that people will think I'm condescending, but I don't intend to be. I will still look at socials for silly videos and other local business updates.

But for now I am saying goodbye and I just hope that it doesn't have a bad impact on my business. Eek!
