Social Media Withdrawal Symptoms
When I tell you social media withdrawal symptoms are real. Seems like the closer it gets to the premiere of Tyler Perry’s Sistas Season 4, the more anxious I am becoming. Since the show’s debut, I have been in the mix – tweeting, promoting, participating – always involved. Then sometime last year things changed. I started feeling like I no longer fit in that space. Like it was time for me to move on. Honestly, it was probably past time. For over 8 years, that one particular account basically consumed my life so much so that I couldn’t function without tweeting, retweeting and commenting a few times an hour. I just had to be engaged.
Well, last month I made the decision to log off for good. So far I’ve been logged off for almost a month. This is the longest I’ve ever gone without live tweeting during my favorite shows. I have found a replacement, group chatting on Facebook, but it’s not the same. Twitter is so much more interactive. So much is planned for tonight’s premiere – several Instagram LIVEs happening, chats with the cast in Twitter Spaces, tweets, posts, discussions, watch parties, etc. – and I feel left out. I’m trying to be okay with making this my new normal, but I’m feeling pretty sad. In the blog I posted earlier, I said today was going to be a fabulous day, and I meant it. Overall today’s been pretty great. I just have to make it over this hump and the next one until I no longer miss it. I guess this is what they call growing pains.

Hello Sunday
Something NEW for 2022!✨
So, around 2:00 AM this morning, I got this idea to create a TikTok account to document my adventures. Basically, to document my travels, food and fun (actually selfies – smile). As usual, once I get a creative idea in my head, I have to act on it no matter how tired I am. And that’s exactly what I did! And y’all, I’m tired!
At 2:00 AM, I decided to create a new TikTok account for It’s Shaun’s World and rename the current one, Shaun’s Daily Inspiration. The NEW It’s Shaun’s World will now house documentaries of my adventures.
For years I have watched and followed culinarians like Marcus Samuelsson, Guy Fieri, Adrian E. Miller and the late Anthony Bourdain travel the world and document their culinary experiences. Secretly, I always wished I could do the same. Well… I can! Imagine that! I have everything I need to get started. One thing this pandemic has taught me is that life is too short to continue sitting on the sidelines waiting for the “right” time to get started, when the “right” time is NOW! Here’s my introductory video.
Before I end, at the beginning of every new year I choose a word or phrase for the year. This year’s phrase is, “Unapologetically Me.” Last year, on November 14, 2021, Bishop T.D. Jakes told us to mark the date on our calendars as the last time we would apologize for being who we were. Since I have always considered myself quirky, when he used the term quirkiness, I knew the message was for me. Immediately, I began separating myself from people and situations that made me want to apologize for being myself. Since making those changes, I can honestly say it feels good to be me! I no longer feel intimidated or less than. Now I feel free to create.
Okay.. let me end this and take a nap. If you didn’t see my previous blog, I would like to wish you Happy New Year! Enjoy 2022!!
