About Me

A glimpse into who I am, my passions, and the vibe behind wieck'd.

Welcome to the Unfiltered Version.

If you are reading this, you are likely looking for proof of life. You may have noticed I stopped feeding the beast that is Facebook. I found the environment toxic, the connections superficial, and the "keyboard warriors" intolerable, so I took my ball and went home. This is home now.

Consider this site the repository for my reality—past, present, and whatever I’m planning next. It is a collection of where I’ve been, what I’ve accomplished, and the spectacular failures that happened in between.

You will see sections categorized by specific areas of my life. Let’s be clear: I am not selling a lifestyle brand. I am not a guru (well, except in my business world, but that isn't what this page is for), and I am definitely not asking for your money. I have simply compartmentalized my life into boxes because it makes the chaos easier to manage. I may share links to things that worked for me, but the only thing I'm "promoting" here is my own sanity.

This is a fluid space. It’s for memories, venting, and genuine updates without the algorithm involved. Look around and catch up. If you want to connect, you know how to reach me directly. If you want to leave a passive-aggressive comment... well, you can’t.

One final note: Since I’m not on Facebook, the only way to know when I actually post a new Rambling or update is to subscribe. If you don't, you'll have to rely on telepathy or checking this URL manually every week. Good luck with that.

Connection, Not Content.

I have spent the last few years auditing my life including the noise, and social media was the loudest offender.

I remember when friendship required effort. It required showing up. Somewhere along the way, we decided to trade genuine connection for a "thumbs up" or a heart emoji—a lazy digital pat on the head that says, "I see you, but I can't be bothered to actually speak to you."

I am opting out of that delusion.

I am tired of relationships that rely on people "getting around" to checking on me whenever they are bored and scrolling. That isn't a connection; that is audience participation. A reaction is not a response, and viewing my life through a screen does not entitle you to a place in it.

If you have time to broadcast your location from a deli five minutes from my house but "no time" to stop by, let’s be honest about where we stand.

https://linktr.ee/wieckd lists the platforms I have chosen to keep because they serve my purposes—laughter, music, and learning.

I am still online, but I am done performing for an audience that prefers to watch rather than engage. If you want to see what I’m laughing at, check TikTok. If you want to feel what I’m feeling, check Spotify. If you want the tea or if you want to know me... well, you’ll have to do better than a friend request.

My Journey - Current:

Currently building my brand and working toward my exit strategy with laser focus.

"Connections"

Social media should be a tool for connection, not a substitute for it. I have curated this list to include the platforms where I actually engage, learn, or laugh.

If you are looking for Facebook, you won't find it here. I realized I prefer real interaction over performative updates. If you are five minutes away, I’d rather you visit.

Section 1: The Active feeds (Current Era)

TikTok: The Dopamine & The News

This is my primary feed for scrolling, news consumption, and sharing things that are absurd, funny, or slightly inappropriate. It fits my sense of humor.

Status: Active

Communication: I do check messages here. If you send me a video that makes no sense, I’ll assume it’s something you find funny, entertaining or just want to share.

Deezer: The Mood Ring

I don't just listen to music; I inhabit it. If you want to know how I am actually doing—or just want to listen in on my current vibe—drop in here. It’s often more accurate than a status update.

Status: Active

Communication: I do check messages here, share music and artists.

Bluesky: The Town Square

This is where I go to engage with thoughts that actually matter to me, rather than arguing with family members about politics. It’s a space for reading, thinking, and connecting with people on a similar wavelength.

Status: Active/Reading.

Communication: I do check messages here.

Instagram: The Visuals

I am still learning this one. I dislike the Meta/Facebook ownership, but I appreciate the visual format for sharing life and dogs. I’m not an influencer, and I’m definitely not good at it yet, but I’m there.

Status: Learning.

Communication: I don't actively check messages here.

YouTube: The Project

Currently dormant, but stay tuned. I am working on building the confidence to share more here soon.


Section 2: The Archives (The Past)

The "Facebook" Archive (20XX - 2025) This contains the history of my time on Facebook. I have edited it significantly. I removed the noise, the drama, and the people who I no longer wish to carry forward. What remains are the memories I want to keep, without the toxic environment they were posted in. I will work on this as time allows - and place a link when it has content
