Why My Website is Becoming My New Social Platform

If you read my Who Am I page there’s no need for an introduction in my first journal entry. If you haven’t read my Who Am I page, I suggest you do because I will not waste time going into who I am. That’s what the About page is for. Now, as to the why I decided to create a website is valid to talk about on my first entry. So, WHY did I start a website? Well, I’ll do my best to keep it short and clear.

I’ve noticed in recent years that Social Media platforms are getting ridiculous when it comes to FREE speech. Yes, it’s great for posting/sharing pics but at the same time, it’s become a waste of time when you can’t express your views, opinions, truths, or facts. Social media has now become a place for muzzling the truth, spreading lies, stupid gossip, over-sexualized millennials, hating what’s right & celebrating what’s wrong and downright immoral. Respectful conversations are long gone; a thing of the past. Social media platforms have become so over congested and noisy with negative news, negative chatter, very vicious attacks, nudity, etc. I don’t know which is worse,  LA and DC highway traffic or social media traffic??... I guess you really can’t choose 🤦🏾‍♀️. They’re both extremely bad.

When I step back and look at social media platforms it’s like going to the “All You Can Eat Buffet” restaurant. There’s so much to choose from. You grabbing and eating 3-4 plates full of food, stomach getting extremely full, you end up very gassy and bloated for 2-3 days. Your body is trying to digest all that processed foods, and then finally it’s able to have a bowel movement, only to release some of it. Not ALL of it. Can you say SYSTEM OVERLOAD??!! As time goes on with this type behavior, on a regular basis, you end up very overweight/obese. Because remember, buffet food is NOT healthy. It’s all garbage, processed foods. You have no say at the buffet restaurant to request for the owners to change their menu for the good of it’s patrons. All in all, you end up feeling miserable, unhappy and depressed after realizing you’ve gained 60 or more lbs. THIS IS HOW I VIEW SOCIAL MEDIA NOW!

I made a decision in January 2021 that I wanted to create my own platform. Yes, I’m well aware that this is a post on a website but, it’s still MY PLATFORM where I choose what I want to say, when I want to say it, and how I want it said. I can’t be censored 🤬, or shut down. Freedom of speech here in the United States, by its constitution, is MY RIGHT! My platform is FREE of all the garbage some of us are tired of on regular social media platforms. The buffet style drama. My platform is not and will not be a “one size fits all”. It will not be for everyone.
