The day has finally came. The day I delete all of my social media apps off of my phone and go off the “internet” grid. In 103 days, I will be 46. I decided to do an extreme fast leading up to that day. This isn’t just fasting from social media, it's fasting from the continuous DOOM and GLOOM, the over saturation of artificial EVERYTHING, the debates, the ignorance, the anxiety I feel when I see yet another BREAKING NEWS article, the constant comparison I battle every time I see a graphic design post really cool content and I feel like a dinosaur, my shitty attention span, terrible eyesight, and the 9+ hour distraction it causes me daily. I need my life back.

Today, after watching yet another DUMPSTER FIRE speech from the orange man, my heart started beating really fast… my chest started hurting and I couldn’t breathe… It’s too much.

It’s a new day.

I started my day at a new walking trail enjoying the breeze and a clear mind. I archived all of my IG posts and posted my final post, then deleted my last and final social media app. I already feel myself coming back to life. At this very moment, the weather is beautiful, the sky is blue, the leaves are changing colors, and I had a great lunch, I’m present and I don’t know what’s happening in the world. Looking forward to more of this

As far as work goes, I’m not closing the door. I’m still here and welcoming new clients. While I won’t be creating content aimed at chasing likes or shares, I’ll be keeping everyone updated through weekly subscriptions to “Bex Talks.” It feels right to slow down on the noise but stay connected in a more meaningful way.

Thanks for coming to my Bex Talk!
