Welcome to my digital refuge!

Jade

As the world outside turns into a regime of algorithms that monitor every breath of attention, I withdraw — not out of cowardice, but to preserve what little remains of my sanity and autonomy, like someone stepping away from a theater of shadows to light their own flame.

We become information. We consume information and are consumed by companies that profit from our existence. Every like, every comment isn’t about going public, but about becoming a product — one product among thousands of others.

And yet, even if we can’t escape this reality, we can find refuge. We can build a small home, a space where we trade our very selves—whether freely or to earn a humble living. My refuge, where a part of me resides; feel free to explore!
