How Much is Too Much?

I don’t know how much to share.

How much is too much?

What should I share and when?

Who even gets to decide?

I’m still figuring out which things about me that I want to put out there for the world to see.

Full Colour Only

I’m not good at filters. You either get full colour or nothing.

I hesitate to filter anything I do, but I definitely still do. That’s life. I don’t even want to see certain things, which makes me even more aware of the content that I’m putting out there.

It’s tough because I don’t want to put negative energy into the world. I want to try and keep it positive, and at the same time, I want to really respect myself and my journey. Toxic positivity is a real thing, and I can’t pretend that everything is going well when it’s not. But how do I share that in a way that’s intentional and meaningful? Does it even need to be intentional and meaningful?

So, while I’m fully aware that I don’t need to tell everyone all the details, there’s always a decision point about how much I’m going to make public. And on the flipside, how much I’m going to keep private and only share with a few people.

Posting & Ghosting

Have you ever done this? 

I’m finding I’m doing this thing where I put stuff up and then disappear for 5 hours because I don’t want to know how people have responded to it. In the last month, I’ve taken a few videos down, partially because it feels like instagram is not going to favour my content, but also because maybe my audience isn’t receiving the info.

I definitely don’t have all the answers. There’s no one right way to do anything. And truly, at the end of the day, all that matters is that what you’ve said and done is good enough for you.

Next week on the blog, we’re going to talk about censorship, including the social media algorithm and even the ways we censor ourselves. Will I see you there?
