I think I have social media fatigue :'( I wanna keep tabs on my favorite people/accounts, but scrolling through my feeds and then watching everyone's stories can be so exhausting. I'm not exactly sure how to balance promoting my business, checking in, and interacting quite yet... Doesn't help that M*ta and other entities just wanna scrape everyone's data. Can I just live in my website and newsletter @_@
Anyway, these last few days, I've been working on getting my earrings all put together. This is my last earrings drop for the year and for awhile until whenever I feel like making them again. And with this economy, I think it's a good time to do some more pivoting. I wanna shift focus towards products that can reach a wider range of people and I have some ideas that I'm looking forward to working on next year.
In terms of life in general, I just feel like everything is so gloomy - and not in a fun, Halloween way. People are struggling, dying, losing their jobs, getting sick. In some ways, I have become somewhat numb to every awful news I come across. It's hard to be genuinely happy when awful things keep happening. But I try. I fight back the darkness with my colorful art, keeping up with my hobbies, and finding some joy wherever I can. It's the small stuff that matters.
