She then explained how she made the conscious decision to step away from social media drama, especially when it comes to “one-sided beefs”:

“This year I haven’t had a single Twitter fight with any of the crazy losers who can’t keep my name out of their mouths. They can take on their one-sided beef on their own in the new year.”

I’m shedding a lot of my people-pleasing tendencies, and I’m so proud of myself for that. This year, I’ve been posting, streaming, and creating content when I really want to, instead of feeling the need to follow this endless rat race that’s happening online.”

Finally, she spoke about the importance of meeting family:

“This year, I planned quarterly trips to visit family. Instead of feeling that looming feeling of guilt about not seeing them enough, I always knew when I would see them next, and that gave me something to look forward to. I started because that’s the most important thing.”
