For a long time, I let engagement metrics quietly shape every creative decision I made — what I wore, what I shared, what I even bothered to try. Stepping off that treadmill for a year was uncomfortable, disorienting, and ultimately the most creatively alive I've ever felt. Here's what I found on the other side.
