My Journey: From Instagram to My Own Little Corner of the Web
So, I used to be pretty active on Instagram, but honestly, the whole marketing vibe and the algorithm playing favorites? Not really my thing. I decided it was time for a change, so I've shifted over to my own website. Here, I can just be me and share what I'm thinking, what I'm up to, and what I'm passionate about, without any of that pressure.
What I love about having my own site is that I can write as much as I want. If I'm really into something, I can go deep, you know? It feels more genuine, more authentic to just lay out my thoughts and experiences.
For instance, I love to travel. On Insta, I'd post a pic, a quick caption, and that's it. But here? I can really tell the story – the good bits, the tough parts, the people I met, what I learned. I can throw in photos, videos, links, whatever helps paint the full picture. It just feels like a richer way to share.
And it's not just about sharing more; it's also a great way for me to practice writing, to actually put my thoughts into words. It feels more personal, a real way to connect with anyone who's interested in the same stuff.
Plus, it's cool to connect with others who get it. Through comments or whatever, I can chat with people, maybe even team up with other writers. It's like building a little community of folks who can cheer each other on.
Basically, while Instagram's fine for quick shares, my website is where I feel I can really open up and connect more deeply. It’s my space to practice writing and share what’s on my mind in a way that feels true to me. If you're into writing and sharing your own stories, I'd totally recommend setting up your own site. It's pretty freeing!
