Detachment Season

My dad tells me all the time how my generation can be so detached sometimes. But is that really a bad thing?

In my case, this month I felt the need of detaching from social media.
You may be perfect, but me on the other hand struggle with comparison.
I would scroll on social media and notice how everyone’s life is just...Perfect.
The perfect picture. The perfect relationship. The perfect kids. The perfect family. The perfect life.
Then I look at my own life and begin regretting.
Sulking.
Opening old wounds.

It felt like I was free falling in a pit of darkness.
I was mentally and emotionally draining myself with comparison.

I’m no therapist
(I should probably get one LOL),
but detachment always feels like the best medicine for me.

To me detachment is like unplugging a device for a while then plugging it back up to make it work again.
Or like a bow and arrow.
Detachment is like the bow being pulled backwards only to be shot forward to hit its mark.

I haven’t shot for my bullseye yet, nor have I plugged myself back in,
but this detachment season is giving me the space and time I need to
recover, reflect and restore.

My detachment season is for me to connect back with me and remember who I am, what I want, and work on where I’m going.

I know you this may not be for everyone,
but this is what works for me and I enjoy this season.

I have time to lay down and write these blogs.
(Sidenote: I just learned that I can post from my phone and this shit is lit LOL)
I have time to focus on school the way I want to.
I have time to work on my Audio Book for The Hidden Goddess With A Twisted Mind.
I have time to grow my career.
I have time to listen to God.

Shit, I know you’re perfect and I may be a little crazy but I feel most connected to me when I’m detached from outside voices.

I’m excited for what this detachment season will bring!
Moving forward,
it’s best to keep watch of this blog
and The Real Life Of Jo YouTube Channel.

They are the only places I’m allowing myself to post in this season
​ (mostly cause no body pay my ass attention right now so it feels easier to be vulnerable lol) but that’s another topic for another day.

It felt great to write tonight and I hope you’re being safe out here in these skreets! Until next time:

- Love, Jo
