Why I’m Moving Away from Instagram & Switching to a Personal Website

I’ve been pretty quiet these days on Instagram. My aversion to the platform started roughly two years ago. Looking back, it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what caused this shift. In this post, I will break down the reasons why I’m no longer a fan of Instagram and convey my argument for making the move to a personal website. For context, let’s have a quick look at my Instagram journey, how it all started, and where I’m at now with this whole ordeal.

Winters are for Recalibrating

After a busy season filled with dirt bikes, along with all the daily hustle that surrounds the sport, I am always thrilled to watch the leaves turn amber, and witness mother nature slowly descend into the darkness. This means I finally get a break from all the wonderful summertime chaos. I love summer and all the energy it brings into my life. But as I’m approaching my 40’s, I need my downtime. Like a flower, I bloom in the summer. June through August is when I experience the most vitality. And as the season comes to a close, I start losing my petals. I slowly retreat back into the soil, where I am able to gather my strength so that I can once again, bloom into the coming season ahead.
