Depressive phases x the algorithm
Are you seeing this picture? This is me, doing one of the things that brings me peace and happiness. To be in the middle of the nature, watching and taking pictures of animals, the very core of this project, to preserve and appreciate all the beauty of the nature that surrounds us, and to allow that the future generations also can see with their own eyes the whole beauty of this world.
But this picture is not actual. I've lost myself so much in the "introspection" that I don't even remember the last time I did that. Today, I can understand this phases that we go through, differentiate between self analyzing phases and introspective phases, and the actions I took going through these times when I was a kid, a teenager and an adult.
With help of therapy and self knowledge, today I can help myself, but not all the times it ends as expected. Sometimes, trying to come from the bottom, you end up digging more and more the hole.
Luckily, I have the means to analyze this phases and learn with them, but sometimes all we want is to overwhelm ourselves with work, to solve everybody's problem, except ours. Today I also see these as signs of escape. And then, the introspective phases begin, days where we are away from everybody and everything, when we feel guilty, we feel we are under achieving, we judge ourselves, and the loss of confidence in our work and life.
Being a starter enterpreneur, this does not help at all, as today we are all guided by algorithms.
How can somebody that wants to undertake a project be successful on Instagram? That wants to share their vision of life and world, but also wants (and needs) to take these breaks to reevaluate, think, introspect about life?
Today, we must be present everyday on social network as the algorithm needs interaction, videos, messages... what happens when all we want is to be quiet for a few days, to think about life, understand our phases and come back better? How will I be followed, appear on searches, be able to show my work and progress and ideas?
Hopefully, one day the social networks will change and we will start again to value quality, the simple things that make this life beautiful.
As we have the fast fashion trend, we have the fast interaction trend as well, where we consume as much information as possible, where a lot of this information is meaningless.
