Recently reminded about a few things that I want to share with you.

- Establishing on/offline boundaries is important.
- Being particular about who/what/where/ how often you engage with something/someone is important.
- Never compromise who you are, how you feel. Never ever.
Very important — don’t be afraid to say no, no thanks to any opportunity (whether you’re feeling it or not & for any reason/no reason.

Protect your sanity & well-being at all costs.

I am personally very bullish about that last one.
I’ll give you an example —for the first point (establishing on/offline boundaries is important).

I will admit that I don’t like when folks have access to me/to communicate with me on multiple platforms. I’d rather not.

Like pick a platform and do that one.
++ I don’t like feeling like I’m being 👀 or followed around the clock. The minute I sense this from anyone, at any point, I start....

And yes, I’m dialed in—it’s one of those annoying but useful skills lol
Pt 2. (Being particular about who/what/where/ how often you engage with something/someone is important.)

I know it’s difficult to capture nuance on here and it feels like these platforms have become way way less about authentic engagement & all the way UP on self promotion. Ugh
Pt 3. (Never compromise who you are, how you feel. Never ever.)

You don’t have to do anything you don’t agree with. Ever! And please, don’t ever just agree to make someone else happy.

That shit will fester & become a problem.

Don’t kick cans down the road.
One last point that has to be said — a lot of folks on here want to associate themselves w/folks they feel have “influence” or whatever. They only want that, RTs or to piggy back on your work.

If my spidey sense senses this(it’s usually so right that I’d bet on it).
🙃
If that’s what you want (and yes, I can tell) please do not engage.

One of greatest things about growing up in NYC and the hood (non-affluent areas) is that you can see BS approaching fr a mile away. And that includes those w/that gift of the gab & social engineers lol
Another great thing about being from NYC & growing up in the hood is —
- The ability to (human) threat model on the fly.
- This as your 24/7/365 schmood 🗽

Happy Tuesday everyone. 🙃
