One of the reasons it means so much to welcome you here is linked to the ever-changing algorithms on other platforms.
Forever trying to get to grips with new and improved features alongside managing and overcoming chronic illness has been a challenge of its own.
I felt like I was getting somewhere. Slowly.
The more fragments of my story that I was sharing, the more of you it was reaching.
Then along comes another algorithm change, reducing the reach to a third.
Once again, I observed myself becoming side tracked & placing my value on a number. I found myself wondering “what’s the point?”.
Momentarily, I was distracted from my true intentions & reasons I share my story in the first place.
The feedback I received from you during this time reconnected me with my actual purpose which is to show you that if I can overcome life’s greatest challenges and limitations, so can you.
Having come to realise that if I want to get my views back up to where they were before or keep growing on other platforms, I’ll have to get to grips with all the new rules.
But tbh, at the age of 42, I’ve come to realise that I’m not even sure what my own rules are yet!?!
After spending a lifetime trying to keep up & fit in with everyone else’s, I’ve realised it’s bloody exhausting. I’m worn out from it.
Whilst I fully intend to keep up a presence on other platforms, it’s important to me that I keep enjoying what I do.
& as my healing has come a long way, so too has my writing.
The reach out and contact I have with you has become deeper and more meaningful as a result. It feels a timely progression to expand upon this.
Thank you for taking an interest in my journey and for coming along for the ride.
I am so happy I discovered your page here! I also struggle with migraines -- have since I was four years old .. it’s been a life long struggle to find balance in all things .. and truly look forward to getting to know your healing story on here ❤️
Also agree with the other platforms, algorithms and getting lost in things that do not matter -- w/ migraine we need the quieter, calmer spaces anyways!
