It's been a while since I wrote a blog because I have been so busy with life. What can I say? These things happen - constantly! In my unplanned absence, I have been traveling as an Afro Caribbean Fae and I have been a part of many the discussion. One of which was about social media and the spiritual community. What to do post, why not to post and the urgency of posting. Couple that with social media content creators and what they and are doing, put me in a weird space. Even though I am afro-centric there are things about me that I like also, that I want to talk to talk about, because it's lighter content, it's happy and I am passionate about it!
I found that when I started to express myself about those other things, there was push back, because you are supposed to be talking about the urgency of the spiritual, the seriousness of it and the feast days and the planet alignment etc - and that's really cool! However, I want to talk about lighter stuff as well, cozy stuff. Like... how to make a Book Of Shadows / Grimoire, books that are "Romantasy" or have a cozy aesthetic and find the lessons within those books and be more authentic in my postings.
The world just seems so etched in shadow that we aren't paying attention to the good things much anymore... yes there is a space for complaining, express yourself, but then what else? What are the solutions? Because if we keep complaining all the time, then nothing gets solved and we never get to the fun, light stuff. Maybe it's where I'm exposing myself these days because of my muggle career.
I made a podcast a few months back about Joy. The importance of it, because it reminds you to be kind, and to be kind, is to be nature. I really believe that getting so close to the problems and the arguing of what is the "right thing to do" that my sharable and teachable content suffered. I've been struggling to write, (imagine that!); I've been struggling to create, I've even struggled with my spiritual altars and just the magic of myself. Maybe this is what happens when you get older? As my next birthday is a really big one as I turn another chapter in my life here in this space called Earth.
Solution?
I am going to find the courage to post again and to post things that I like. Things that make me happy and hopefully my tribe - whoever they are - will also follow. I know a lot of my work started here in this virtual space because of me journeying through my spirituality and it still is! But I do want to give more of happiness and less attention on the harrowing-ness of life. I really want to push the joy and the hope that still exist even though sometimes we don't get to see it. I also believe that I spent way too much time focusing on what strategies I am supposed to be putting out there to find my tribe because that's what you are supposed to do when you are in the social media landscape. But that's not who I am, I am
a cozy kind of girl who likes happy video games who reads fantasy novels that carry mermaids and fairies and elves and dragons as well as being very spiritual and also very afrocentric.
All of these things have a place for me because that is who I am and I do believe that there are times when Spiritualpreneurs come together online to give off content but are told it will never work because you must choose one thing but I myself am not one thing. So with great courage and hopefully a bigger understanding I will be putting more stuff up on YouTube whether that is a new book I like, fiction or otherwise, inspirational talks and I also will not be slaving myself into the idea that I must post something just because. I want to give content that is a quality and helps at least one person who is watching and listening I don't want to be sitting thinking and trying to make everything perfect giving myself anxiety and then never posting at all because that's where I am right now... "at all".
Here's to making even better fun stuff and serious stuff where applicable in the coming days to weeks to months.
