Restarting blogging

I suspended my Instagram back in February. It was very much on a whim, but I’d been gradually disengaging from it for some time.

As an artist, it felt like something I needed to have in order to really exist. But with its ever-increasing user numbers, unfavourable algorithms and push to produce short form content in order to be seen I’d become disillusioned to it. It’s still there, waiting if I change my mind. But I just haven’t felt like it.  

Instead I’ve decided to put my energy into starting a blog again. I used to blog fairly regularly, especially during my time at uni. It has been a positive creative outlet for me, one that isn’t being constrained to fit in several square boxes.

We’re also facing a big change in our lives soon, with a new addition to our family coming very shortly. I feel like time passes so quickly these days so having some way of documenting things will be good for my creative outlet.
