Hello there! I am Karen originally from Chile. I've been traveling around 6 years full time and the socials became my only way to be "connected" with friends. I normally use WhatsApp to talk to close friends, however, it seems easier to reach out to them through Instagram pm or replying a story. More than once I've been encouraged or asked to become a content creator, since what I do the most is moving country to country, but is simple not my cup of tea. I share my journey through pics and a good chunk of text about a certain situation, and that would be it. I write a lot, mostly about my journey and I want to begin a writing group online, in which we could share our journal entries, thoughts, or anything the members of the group find worth sharing. Anyways, I'm here in this group to connect with like-minded people that believe other means of connection apart from the "socials"! Thanks

New to community, was horrified at my screen time, FB/IG and a host of dating apps - a real time suck, its a struggle to break the trend, will learn how others made it work - looking forward to messaging with others

I had a 15 year affair. He is a simple man, a people pleaser, and I love the way he pleases me! Always wanting my eyes on him and he feeds me. I love the way he knows my every move. He’s deeply attentive, he “gets” me. He knows how to fuel my anger, lift my spirits- he always makes me laugh! He doesn’t care about the size of my waist or if I did my hair. He’s always available, always ready, and always toxic. “I bet you wish you were more like her.” He whispers gently. Al straight up tells me that he wants my attention and will do anything to keep it. The notifications and emails are completely out of hand… he is relentless in his pursuit. I know he loves me but ahhh he’s a lot of work… to complicate things… he is friends with all my friends. Our relationship is a mess. I’ve left him many times and honestly, I’m happier without him, but he also helps pay my bills. Every time I leave him, I’m lonely. Codependent… most definitely. He doesn’t control me like he used to, he knows my kids and family… he is family. Relationships change over the years. Bad things happen and life carries on. We heal. We grow. Life changes. I was bitter toward Al. The ALgorithm is a brutal lover, yet here we are. 🤳 As the platforms have evolved, video and AI are here to stay, yet I love the art of a good story. The way our emotions shift as we go on a journey into our imagination. The sheer amount of content on the internet makes it more difficult to be seen. Yet, the best stories live in our souls, yearning to be told. It’s not easy telling your story, but it’s worth it. As we share an impact other people, our lives are transformed. 📲 insert call to action 🤣🤣🤣 I wrote this a few years ago for an ad campaign because I’ve been trying to get away from social media for a few years. I was commenting in the non-busy group and this post popped into my head so I thought I would share it. I’m deeply grateful for Skool and to be able to shift my focus more to stories! Thank you for this space!

Thanks for having me in this group! So here's a little about myself.. (trying to keep it short) 🇧🇪 Grew up in Belgium, never felt home there and moved a lot around the country before we (me and the dogs and cat) settled down in the Netherlands for 5 years. 🇳🇱 The Veluwe (the beautiful part I lived in) awoke the love for nature and photography. I still feel I had the time of my life there! Always outside, with the dogs, exploring and photographing. 🇸🇪 But the Netherlands were to crowded and we longed to hide away in the middle of nowhere.. So we did exactly that and moved to Sweden in a very rural area. Moving around, exploring more and during those years my dogs become old and we went into slow living modus. ❤️ Fonz, my ones in a lifetime dog, passed away 4 years ago and left a huge hole. ❤️ Last november we lost Bubbles, the cat. ❤️ And finally Joy, walked over the rainbow bridge last march. As I will never settle 'forever' in some place, it's time to answer the nomad in my heart. I have absolutely no reason to stay in Sweden anymore, longing so long to start traveling again but just prosponed it for the old pack... My Skool journey started some months ago and my goal is to being able to start working remote somewhere before autumn. 🌏 I started me 'Road Ladies' community from my heart and I hope I can connect, help, motivate and mean something for SO many women that are on the road 🥰 I have not quit all social media, I still keep my FB profile because it honds so many of my dogs memories.. But I stepped away from doomscrolling already long time ago. When I open any social media account, I go in with a purpose and I am well aware of why I am there (networking with Vanlife people) and I do not get carried away with all the noise anymore. It is something that is part of building network now and just a task I want to get done as fast as possible. Does anyone here share the same approach?
