Confessions of a Recovering Content Creator
So it’s been however many weeks since I hung up Darling Nisi.
Have to say, it’s certainly been an adjustment, especially in regard to how I move online. With my accounts I had an audience not only to share about Prince, but also some about myself. Whenever I have an audience like that I often use to just ask questions about what’s “normal”.
What even is a date these days?
Have you heard of xyz show?

Thanksgiving this week.
Another holiday, honestly one of my least favorite holidays (dressing is disgusting). Its only purpose is to begin Christmas season in earnest, specifically with Santa riding by the Macy’s flagship store in NYC which I am present to see (on TV) every year since I was a child.…

My Brain, My Choice
Falling back from social media has really done a number on me.
It allowed me to have more time to think, to not spend hours a day staring at a screen and scrolling to see what people think under the guise of somewhat anonymity.
My main social media of choice was Twitter (and Instagram stories). Pre takeover, it was a fun way to connect with others around the world, especially related to Prince.
