See Ya Later!

I was never the type to journal or write in a diary; it was a little too open ended for me. Then the journals with prompts felt too much like homework, so then I felt pressured to come up with the perfect answers. Sometimes I just have so much on my mind that I have to write it down to clear some space, and it just doesn’t fit into a poem. So here goes nothing:

Dear Diary,

My alarm goes off. I hit snooze a few times. I finally open my eyes and say my affirmations, hoping to gain the strength to finally get up out of this bed. I stretch, drink some water, and take my vitamins. Gather my clothes and head to the bathroom. I sit on the toilet scrolling through social media until my feet start falling asleep. “Sh!t, I gotta get moving!”

I pack my lunch and get everything ready. I wake Jreyah first so she can potty and get dressed. As I’m nursing her I get back on social media and lose track of time yet again. I wake Kamaya and let her get dressed. We head to the bathroom to brush our teeth and wash our faces. Get our shoes on, grab a quick breakfast, and out the door we go.

What’s wrong here? The first social media stint I could’ve done 100 sit-ups and crunches, but no. The second time I could’ve done some meditation or breath work, but no. Social media has a hold on me, and I don’t like it. It’s wasting precious minutes I already don’t have enough of as is, and I’ll never get those back. Is it time for another social media fast?

I’ve went back and forth about this for weeks; considering social media is the main source of marketing and advertising for my Creations by Ke wire jewelry, but I really do think this is what is best for me personally. Not sure how long I’ll be gone from the blog this time, but I’m ending this chapter with a short poem:

There are so many things I should be doing, yet I sit here scrolling through IG.

I could work, read, write, or even clean up, but I just don’t have the energy.

Busy hoping for likes, comments and mentions,

When I should be setting the day with good intentions.

Social media really is an addiction that so many of us have,

I think it’s time for me to go to rehab.
