🦄🙌🏻🦋I’ve decided to take a year off of Instagram. I’ve noticed it’s bringing me more down than it is up. I am tired of having a “I must post to instagram” cloud over my head. I haven't been much of a fan of the algorithm change they implemented so many years ago and the constant feed of creativity is actually ... kind of stressing me out - if that makes any sense. I just feel like I always have to post more, be more creative, do more… and well I’m burned out. I want to create on my own terms. ⁠ ⁠ If you like the work I do and would like to see new creations during this year you will be able to find me @ www.happynes.org and patreon (see link in bio). I am actively updating and creating on those two sites. ⁠ ⁠ I’m feeling more focused and motivated than ever. I have started building, planning, and pitching the community center I hope to build in Istanbul. Thanks to my 33 Patreon backers I have been able to devote more time to this endeavor and it is starting to become the full time job I had always hoped it would be… although I still have a long way to go - anyway,⁠ ⁠ If you try to message me on instagram I will not see it. So please get in touch with me some other way. I’m at 1,033 followers as I write this post, I expect followers to leave in droves by 2021. But in any case, I wish you dear friends a wonderful new year. Thank you for your support, your likes, your attention, and your encouragement. Hopefully we can pick this conversation back up in 2021 if you decide to stick around. With Love, ⁠ Nesli https://www.instagram.com/p/B7EUWedgihv/?igshid=o54194cdq55i
