I'm still on LinkedIn, Pinterest, and IRL events by the way.

I’ve never said I wanted to be a content creator and dance like a monkey. I’d rather spend my time and energy elsewhere. The only reason I’m not deleting this IG account is because of you ❤️ the incredible, talented, creative people I’ve connected with here.

It feels like a giant pyramid scheme where a small percentage wins, the rest of us lose, and the bros get even richer—while our data is harvested and fact-checking is a thing of the past.

I’m not sure I want to be part of this anymore. Do you?

Organic growth feels near impossible—I’m constantly nudged to boost posts, push reels, or buy a blue badge, all designed to make us spend more.

I don’t expect things for free and I don't mind working hard to fulfill my mission to spread optimism, but honestly, I’m tired of this relentless battle.

As it's nearly Valentine's Day, here is my love letter to you 💌 I’m here to inspire and empower you but Instagram increasingly feels like not the place.

I’m not here to perform, entertain, or play algorithm games just because some tech bros decided that’s how engagement works.

真夜中だからいろんな思いを巡らせてしまったのかもしれないですね…

😫 I'm applying for my UK citizenship now so that I can vote for the next election.

"Void" 😆 I know what you mean but some people are clearly checking out your great work 🙌
