I AM QUITTING SOCIAL MEDIA…
That was my decision two years ago. So I just… disappeared for a while. I stopped posting. I would sometimes share 1 to 2 videos a month on TikTok kapag may time, pero hindi na tulad ng dati. Nawalan ako ng gana. I’d post memes on my stories. That’s it.
I didn’t feel the need to announce it. I know people are dealing with their own lives. Me quitting social media didn’t feel like something that needed a grand exit. I thought, “Hindi naman siguro ako hahanapin ng mga followers ko…”
So, why did I almost quit?
I already shared the reason with my close friends. (Shoutout sa inyo for listening and making me feel better!) But I won’t go into detail here. Let’s just say... mahirap maging babaeng content creator sa Pilipinas.
When I go to the mall, I usually go alone. That’s my “me time.” I grab coffee and read a book. But for a while, I didn’t feel safe. I didn’t feel confident doing that regularly anymore.
I saw my followers dropping. My engagement on all platforms was going down, especially here on Facebook. And I was fine with it. I didn’t mind. Life got busy, and I was already planning to quit social media anyway. Kaya hinayaan ko na lang.
Sometimes I’d miss making videos, especially when I watch funny or inspiring content on TikTok. Pero the will to start again? Wala talaga.
Until…
After an event I attended last year, I dropped by a food kiosk at a mall. One of the staff recognized me and literally jumped with joy!
He said, “Ma’am, tuwang-tuwa ako sa videos mo! Ba’t ‘di na kita nakikita sa TikTok?”
I smiled. We took a photo together. (I’ll post it in the comment section.)
Hindi ko makalimutan ‘yung moment na ‘yon. It was already late at night. I was exhausted from the event, and I’m sure pagod na rin siya from work. Pero when he saw me, he removed his apron, grabbed his phone, and happily took a photo with me.
I realized na may effect pala ‘yung videos ko sa iba. The way he smiled after seeing me, parang ako lang din ‘pag may nakikitang meme that instantly lifts my mood.
That small moment gave me a reason to start showing up again. To create content that brings that same kind of joy to others. Just like how Kuya made me feel that night.
And when I slowly started posting again this year, I saw comments like:
“Ngayon lang ulit kita nakita.”
“You’re back, mam!”
“Ang tagal mong nawala. Buntis ka na ba?” (Haaa?? 😆🙈)
Turns out, people noticed. Hinanap din pala ako.
Or maybe madrama lang talaga ako. Thinking no one would notice was just my way of convincing myself that it’s okay to disappear for a while. 😆
During that quiet season, I got to experience many things outside voiceover. But I couldn’t just post them here, since I wanted to stay true to the name of this page, Voiceover Flowers.
So, as part of showing up again, I made a new page called Kaye Zone. It’s from my name, Kathleen "Kaye Sone".
Anything not related to voiceover, like food, travel, money, shopping, or new adventures, doon ko ipo-post.
This time, it’s not forced. I’m showing up because I want to. I’m excited again. I even started a podcast called The Daily Breadwinner!
Ang dami kong photos and videos na gusto ko nang i-share soon. So thank you for staying.
Mahal kow kayow! 🤭🥹🩷
