I feel ya! 🥰

Musings on ’90s jeans 👖and social media 📳

Recently, I was shopping with my teenage daughter when she pointed at the jeans display. "Mom! These are SO cute!"
Y’all, they were just like the flare-leg style jeans I've been faithfully wearing since 1995. 🤣

Did I ever stop wearing them, even when styles changed? Absolutely not.
Did I care that I looked like I was stuck in a fashion time warp? Big ol’ bag of “nopes”. 🤷

And honestly? I feel the exact same way about social media.

Every time I open my feed, I feel like I accidentally walked into a rave 😵‍💫 when I was just looking for a quiet coffee shop. My overstimulated brain starts twitching: "Why is everything moving? Where's the pause button? Please make it stop shouting at me!"

My brain is not designed to handle that much stimulation.

So here I am, stubbornly posting my peaceful, non-seizure-inducing images while Instagram sends me passive-aggressive notifications about "optimizing my content strategy." 🙄

The algorithm has put me in a social media “time-out” for refusing to play the game. They want me to post flashy, addictive, dopamine-hit content designed to keep you scrolling through other people's highlight reels... instead of stepping away to create your own beautiful life.

But you know what?
If I can wait three decades for my pants to be cool again, I can outlast this latest fad.

I'm like the social media tortoise 🐢 – slow, steady, and completely unbothered by all the flashy hares 🐇zooming past me.

If you're pausing to read this instead of scrolling past to watch someone's 15-second life hack, you're my people. 🙌❤️

You're the ones who remember when social media was about connection, not performing for an algorithm that changes its mind more often than a toddler changing their outfit (that about 7 times a day, in case you forgot).

Thanks for being here in my little corner of the internet, where you can READ a full sentence, pause, and process a deep thought.

Now, excuse me while I go put on my vintage jeans…

Guess what y’all?!
The tuberose are coming in! 🎉
It’s hard to believe that it was 10 years ago that I went out on a limb and planted 150+ tubers in the hopes of starting something new.
Now, here we are… drinking in that heavenly scent and getting these beautiful blooms ready for market.
Hope to see you tomorrow!
