✨ Not Quitting, Just Reclaiming My Terms

-

 

I’m not quitting.

I’m not giving up.

I’m just reclaiming the terms. 💅🏾

Lately I’ve been tired — not of creating, but of trying to do it on platforms that want everything except to truly support me. I’ve tried the shops, the print-on-demand sites, the follower-building, the “optimize your audience” hustle. And what did I get in return? Fees, rejections, and silence. Over and over. 🙄

Platforms like Spreadshirt, Teepublic, even Patreon — they all act like they’re here to help you grow. But what they really mean is: “If you already have clout, we’ll let you make money. If not? Good luck shouting into the void.” 📉📢

Well, I’m done shouting. ✌🏾

I’m still creating. 🎨

I’m still dreaming. 💭

I’m still doing what I love. 💖

I’m just not doing it for algorithms or storefronts anymore.

Until I find another way to do what I want without paying a lot and getting little in return, I’m stepping back from the selling side. The pressure. The chasing. 🚫💸

I’ll be here.

Posting on this blog — awkwardly, honestly, introverted as ever. 🤷🏾‍♀️🖋️

Still creating. Still living. Just on my own terms now. 🌱

This space? This is mine. 🏡

No ads. No begging. No pretending.

Just thoughts, art, vibes, and whatever else I feel like sharing. 💬🖼️🎧

Thanks for being here, if you are.

But if not, that’s okay too. 🤎

This one’s for me. 🖤

🧬 Marjorie Taylor Greene: The Neanderthal Exhibit We Never Asked For 🦕

Sometimes, history reminds us where we came from — fossils, ancient bones, and cavemen who somehow evolved enough to invent fire and clothes. Then there’s Marjorie Taylor Greene — living, breathing proof that evolution can backslide like a busted shopping cart on a hill 🛒⬇️. I stumbled across a meme that almost made me choke on my tea ☕💀.  On the left: a hyper-realistic model of a Neanderthal woman from the Museum of Confluences in Lyon, France 🏛️. On the right: MTG — a U.S. Congresswoman who opens her mouth and manages to drag us all back to 40,000 B.C. 🗿 The resemblance? Brutal.  The meme? A savage masterpiece. My reaction? Laughing, cringing, then realizing… this isn’t even satire anymore. This is Congress 🎪. Now before the torch mobs whine about “bullying” 🪧😭, let’s get one thing straight: this isn’t about looks — it’s about behavior, mindset, and ignorance dressed up in a blazer with a mic 🎤🧠❌. When you push conspiracy theories, deny science, and treat facts...

Sipping in Solitude: Refreshing Drinks to Keep You Cool and Calm🧉

Hi there 👋🏾 (or not, because we both know I’m awkward about greetings). Let’s just dive in. As someone who thrives on quiet moments and minimal human interaction, I’ve realized there’s nothing better than a refreshing drink to elevate my me-time. 🍹 Whether it’s a cozy night in with a book 📚, a Netflix binge 🎥, or just staring out the window contemplating life 🌧️, the right drink makes everything feel a little more  extra . Recently, I stumbled into the fascinating world of winter citrus, and let me tell you—it’s a whole new vibe. 🍊 There are so many unique varieties I’d never heard of before, like Buddha’s hand, yuzu, and cara cara oranges. I’ve never seen or tasted most of these fruits, but just from looking at them, I can imagine how delicious and refreshing they must be. Like, who wouldn’t want some fancy lemonade made with these? 😍💁🏾‍♀️ Naturally, my introverted self thought, “This would be perfect for making drinks while I enjoy my alone time.” So, I’ve put toge...
