Where To Find Me While I'm Off Twitter

If you follow me on Twitter, you probably recognize by now that I have a problem. I thought about giving up coffee for Lent (I was raised Catholic and although I’m not devout, I still go to church and cling to some of my Irish Catholic traditions) but I like any opportunity to challenge myself and generally in life, I try to lean into that which I resist the most—in this case, giving up Twitter for 40 days and nights. (I have to specify nights because--loopholes.)

The tricky thing with Twitter is that it truly is my livelihood. It's also where I get to share the other cool creative things I’m doing with the world and promote the brilliant and inspiring minds I get to have conversations with on my podcast--so to give social media up completely is pretty much impossible.

Which is where my podcast co-producer and cousin, Maggie and my beloved roommate, Samantha (@samanthashahi) come in. They will be taking over my social media, Maggie on Twitter and Samantha on Instagram. I never use Facebook ever because it feels like a nursing home, so I’m not too worried about getting sucked into the rabbit hole. (Watch I’ll totally get addicted to Facebook in 40 days.)

For those of you who can’t live without me for 40 days, well, I suggest you sign up for my Patreon and if you hate Patreon, join my SubscribeStar (although I have to say, Patreon has the lens feature which is like Instagram stories and I suspect I’m going to be leaning into that pretty hard in the next 40 days).

I know most people think Twitter is a garbage cesspool, but I’ve met many of my best friends here and the opportunity to connect to people is priceless. 

Be kind to yourselves and each other. If it starts to feel like too much or you’re being piled-on or notice you’re feeling more negative about the world than usual, walk away. Listen to your body—your body will tell you when it’s time to step away from Twitter and it’s usually when your heart starts racing and your adrenaline coursing and you are wondering how many calories hating everything burns. 

Pause. When. Agitated.

I genuinely mean it when I say I’m going to miss you all. I realize I'm saying goodbye like I'm dying but seriously, I love you rascals.

See you tomorrow.
