Because of the wallpaper...
My cat approves this newsletter.
Dear Cafecito,
“Welcome to my cozy corner of the internet dedicated to all things that bring out the creative side of me! This website marks a fresh start for me as I step back from most of the social media platforms I would spend a lot of time on and re-focus my energy on the things that I like. Here, I will share my thoughts through art, writing, music, and other creative ways. To be more specific, this will be my place to share about what I'm up to similar to what I was doing on social media platform stories and posts. I'll probably post about the music that I am into, books that I am reading, life updates, and other cool things like whenever I have a quesabirra. I will also write about the activities that I participate in whenever I procrastinate. Just kidding! I never procrastinate.”
This first paragraph that I just shared with you is what I wrote for my first post on my website. Currently, I am waiting for Squarespace to transfer my domain claribotello.com to WordPress. It usually takes a couple of days for the transfer to complete. As a result, my new email address won’t work until the transfer is complete. Yikes! By the way, let me share a picture of our cat Meeoo who got dressed up for the occasion of approving my newsletter.
About the Wallpaper Photo
The photo included in this post represents the day when I realized I needed to detach myself from social media platforms. Let me be a bit more specific on what exactly happened on this day. I remember recording myself making a wallpaper for my phone on my desktop computer and uploading it to a specific social media platform. I didn't like the way I felt after uploading it and only getting like 40 something views. All the hard work that went into making this wallpaper, and it didn't get the recognition it deserved. By detaching myself from social media platforms this year, I aim to focus more on developing my website, writing and artistic skills, and other aspects of my life that went ignored when I spent too much time on these social media platforms.
Less Screen Time
My life will definitely change, and I'm excited that I won't be thinking about what to post on my stories or what "content to create" so I can have a chance to go viral. I enjoy writing about what is on my mind and reflecting on my life experiences overall. I will be doing more of that on this newsletter The Cafecito Diaries. Woo!
I will definitely be paying more attention to my surroundings since I will be holding my phone a lot less than in previous years. For instance, yesterday I went to Ross with my husband, and I left my phone inside my tote bag because I wanted to enjoy shopping without having to take any pictures and record what I was doing. It felt great! I also plan to use my digital camera a bit more than before to document with a purpose and develop my craft; taking photos will be more meaningful to me.
Thank you for stopping by and reading about my experiences.
Sincerely,
Clari♡ from The Cafecito Diaries ☕️📝 | 💌 hello@claribotello.com
