Quarantine Diaries: Creating, Manifesting & Disconnecting

On Creating & Manifesting

I opened my laptop. When I raised my head and propped the window open, the clock was ticking at 6:00 a.m. True story.

Over the past weeks, I’ve been brainstorming and creating non-stop for my shop. To my surprise, I was creatively inspired during the quarantine. To have more time to think and create without deadlines, my happiness is over the moon.

When it comes to creating and manifesting, these two have been part of my normal life, and eventually lost the fire early last year. When life started to throw me punches, I lost almost everything, even the magic of creation and the power of manifestation. For more than 12 months, I couldn’t make a single art from the heart. I was spending my days wishing for the day to come when I could create again. And then, quarantine happened.

I can’t wait to slowly manifest all of these ideas in my head. My goal is to create one day at a time. I’m taking this stay-at-home opportunity to further hone my skills, and see what else I can learn as an artist and as a designer.

On Disconnecting

I went on social media hibernation for 3 months starting last December 2019. It is a yearly tradition for me. To disconnect and not be bothered to post and update my life online. To connect deeper into my inner self. To find real happiness offline. To feel life, and to breathe life.

When the quarantine happened, I was secretly happy. Because I don’t need to interact, pretend, and talk to people. The whole socially distancing thing is my game. Having more time to spend with myself, I finally had time to let go of all toxic people and relationships both online and offline.

During my social media hibernation, I realized there were lots of people who don’t vibrate at the same energy frequency as mine. Being much smarter today, I unfriended and unfollowed hundreds on social media, and in my circle. It was the best feeling ever. My online feed is much cleaner and just purely positive energy.

Right now, I have no obligation to post every single day and give a life lately updates. I am not pressured on what I should share and talk about. Social media jealousy and insecurity in my system are slowly flushing out. I have never been this free in my whole life.
