I’ve been active during my hiatus. I got the @uoslavery website up, and worked at the Anarchist Bomb Factor (getting out intellectual ammunition out to the world). I had a wonderful experience here an Anarcpulco, going through life changing workshops, getting chills when speakers make enlightening points, and connecting with the most loving people that I’ve ever met.

I’ve taken 9 months off Steem. I burned myself out at the beginning, attempting to do something I wouldn’t necessary, but did anyway since I felt in a desperate financial stability. I tried to produce quantity over quality; and defining quality on how I feel while writing it.

Personally, I’m not a huge fan of social media. The social, physiological, spiritual, mental, and emotional consequence can cause some damage. When I started notice myself becoming dependent of the outcome of my posts and constantly checking my followers on Steemit, I felt hooked. (Side note: Why does our follower / followed take longer than everything else to load?)

I want to use technology as a tool, not a substitute for human interaction. When I dropped all main stream social media, I had 1 person reaching out to me about my absence. I don’t take this personally, yet I do see how social media provides a strange illusion of interconnectedness. I hope to see what we can do about this going into the future.

After talking to @kennyskitchen about my presence on Steem, he suggested that I posts things that I would have done anyway. For example, I take notes on my own thoughts, speakers, books, videos, and experiences of my life. Might as well share this with the Steem World, if anyone can get value out of it, I’ve improved the Greater Flow.

Looking at my past posts, they actually have some solid writing that I’m quite surprised off. I’ll write things that I would’ve anyway, and it will most likely be more information about my intellectual life more than my personal life… although these interchange for my quite often.

So, maybe you’ll hear from me in a soon. If you do hear from me, it will be content authentically from me.

Love prevails over all,
