Seasonal Affectation
Nov. 23rd, 2021 06:41 pmThis is a friendly reminder to myself not to self-isolate during the holidays! I always get depressed around this time of year, mainly because of the lack of sunlight. I’ve also noticed that a lot of people take long breaks after October and November drawing and writing challenges, which means that social media is always super quiet at the end of the year.
I therefore want to schedule time during the day to be online, even if that time is spent passively liking and sharing art. I know a lot of people turn to social media as a distraction from the stress caused by holidays, and I hope that me keeping a steady schedule of posting chill art and memes can be at least a small comfort to someone who might need it.
I’m planning on taking a break soon, though. One of my resolutions for the upcoming year is to take a big step back from social media and devote more of my energy and attention to working on larger and more complicated projects that will take more time to complete. In order not to feel compelled to be constantly productive, I need to shake myself out of the social media mindset. I’ve got a queue of “content” scheduled for December, but after that I need to get off Twitter and get gud.
