I mainly love instagram for a very narcissistic reason: watching my photos in a slideshow with my song of choice playing in the background. So I tried to bring it here, as best I could. There’s music playing, and there’s a little purple player in the bottom right corner. Purple is my favorite color(for now at least I feel like I go through seasons), so that’s kind of the theme of this whole site so far. We’ll see how it changes along the way.

What I don't really care about IG? Seeing what everybody else has going on 24/7. If I want to catch up with someone, I’d rather call them up and ask what they remember. That’s the part that’s actually important, and not everything we post is important. Not everything I post here will be the most important thing either. But it’s fun to track your story. It’s fun to post. I js rather do it on my own terms.

I also realized I don’t really care about everybody seeing my stuff. I want a memory bank, something for me, and for my future kids, or anyone who wants to be part of my journey and read along with me.

The history behind the photos and the music

Before I dive into this. Let's take go take a seat. Bit chilly.

There’s usually some history behind the photos and the music I pick. This was a kind of weird time in my life. Relationships around me were changing, and I started to realize who I was truly close with.

I also realized I do a lot of weird, out-of-the-ordinary things out of love. I do a lot of things for love. Hence “Do For Love” by Snow Allegra. My heart is full of love, sometimes too full, and that can make me do some stoopid things, things I prob shouldn’t do in the first place.

These pictures were taken by my homie Timi, a.k.a. TZ (@timifolayan). He tha bro, and we used to always flick up together in college.

Some posts won’t have any deep meaning. Sometimes I just wanna look at myself with fire music playing. In my head that's valid af. I got all the freedom I want here so why not?

Sure, I might use social media to advertise it a bit. I recognize it's use ofc. And yes, there’s a place to subscribe and follow along with the story. But if I got zero viewers every month and nobody gaf about this, I would still be chillin. That's the best part.

On Instagram, it’s hard to post without comparing yourself to other people’s likes, or comparing your life to theirs. Wanted to isolate myself from allat. Be in my own world.

So welcome to my world.
