Living unfiltered and free: Derrick Solano shifts focus to his personal blog.
Social media loomed over me like a silent storm cloud, but closing those accounts wasn’t just a decision—it was a liberation, a breath I didn’t know I’d been holding for years.— Derrick Solano
LAS VEGAS, NM, UNITED STATES, December 16, 2024 /
EINPresswire.com/ -- For years, Derrick Solano's verified social media accounts stood as empty monuments to modern life’s digital circus. With blue checkmarks beside his name but not a single post to be found, they were less a platform and more a shadow—a constant reminder of a world obsessed with appearances, engagement, and the endless chase for validation. Today, Solano announces that shadow is gone, forever. He has closed his official Facebook and X (formerly Twitter) accounts, choosing instead to live boldly, freely, and authentically on his own terms.
“Social media loomed over me like a silent storm cloud,” Solano admits. “Even though I never used it, its mere presence was enough to create a weight I couldn’t shake—a pressure to post, to perform, to condense life into soundbites for public consumption. Closing those accounts wasn’t just a decision—it was a liberation.”
Solano’s decision comes at a time when many are questioning the mental toll of social media. For him, the accounts were a hollow symbol of the endless digital expectation to create, curate, and captivate. By deleting them, Solano joins a growing movement of individuals reclaiming their mental space in a world where every moment feels like it must be packaged for likes, shares, and fleeting approval.
“I’m done with the idea that life needs to be digestible, that my worth or relevance hinges on whether I post or not,” Solano explained. “I’ve lived too much, survived too much, to let my story be reduced to hashtags and algorithms.”
Instead, Solano is directing all attention to his personal website,
https://www.derricksolano.com, where his blog has become the one place where he shares his thoughts, reflections, and moments that matter. There, he’s built a digital sanctuary—a space free of likes, comments, or algorithms, where he can exist unfiltered and without expectation.
“In deleting social media, I’ve found something I didn’t know I was missing: peace. My blog is now my only online presence. It’s where I can write about everything or nothing, where I can be present without the invisible judgment of likes or the noise of debates. It’s my unfiltered life, on my terms.”
This bold move is not just a personal shift but a call to others who feel trapped in the cycle of comparison, overexposure, and digital fatigue. Solano’s message is clear: you don’t have to live under the pressure of constant connectivity.
“It’s not about rejecting the world,” he says. “It’s about reclaiming it. Social media has become a mirror that reflects not who we are but who we think we need to be. When I closed those accounts, it felt like taking a breath after holding it for years. I realized I wasn’t missing anything—I was making space for everything.”
Solano’s path away from social media mirrors the themes that have defined his work as an author, musician, and psychic guide: resilience, authenticity, and the power of choosing your own story. While he emphasizes he has no immediate plans for new books or music, he doesn’t rule out surprises in the future.
“Creativity isn’t a faucet you turn on and off—it’s a force that finds you when you’re not looking,” he says with a grin. “For now, I’m choosing to live without labels or deadlines. That’s freedom.”

In a world obsessed with performing for the digital crowd, Derrick Solano’s decision to step away is a powerful reminder that freedom starts when you stop chasing approval. By breaking free, Solano has created the one thing social media could never offer: a space where his life is entirely his own.
