Taking a Step Back

Written By Jessica Gabrielzyk

I’ve been quiet on social media lately. Honestly? I hit a wall.

Between the endless scrolling, the pressure to keep up, and that feeling that I should always be “sharing something,” I realized I wasn’t enjoying it anymore. Instead of giving me connection, it was draining me.

So I decided to step away for a while. Not forever, just long enough to breathe.

But I don’t want to disappear. That’s why I’ll be here, writing on my blog. This space feels calmer, more real. No noise, no algorithms — just words. If you’re reading this, thank you for being here with me.

I can’t promise perfect posts, but I can promise honesty. And maybe, that’s what we all need a little more of.

See you here soon. 💛
