Not Everyone Will Understand What and Why You're Doing It.

“She’s just going to go tell the public what she’s done this weekend.” “She wants attention.” “She wants to show off.” “No one cares about that stuff.”

Not everyone will understand what you’re doing and why you’re doing it.

They may make fun of you for it. They may taunt you about it. They may even speak badly about the thing you’re doing.

I’ve gotten it all 😅

Was it easy at first? Absolutely not. I got those quotes from my family, even friends (EX-friends). I honestly started to feel like writing, speaking about different topics, is… stupid. The people around me don’t “approve” and find it silly, so is it really silly? Is there even a point to what I’m doing?

At the time, I didn’t know anyone who created content, put themselves out in the public online so I really didn’t have anyone to get their perspective. I would constantly think about it.

There was a gap of a few months (a few years ago) when I didn’t put out any valuable content, that was the time gap that I actually took in those comments and actually thought of them being true.

But that one part inside of me was missing, I couldn’t figure it out. For weeks I was trying to understand what it was that was eating my brain until I opened my notes app one day and it struck me what was missing … writing.

That day I wrote for 2 hours, straight. 3-4 different topics. I looked up and felt good. Physically I felt like a couch potato, but I mentally felt so calm.

I understood what I needed to do. Why was I stopping what I wanted to do just because of some people who didn’t understand or like it? Why was I allowing other people to have power and control over me? It was absolutely ridiculous!

It was a no-brainer that I needed to get back into creating. And spoiler alert: I did! 😂

There’s a lot more of the story and in between but I’ll keep writing about it throughout this journey and platform we’ve created - together (myself and you reading this right now). Although I am the one creating the content, you all engage with it and that helps a lot more than you can imagine and that’s why I always refer to this thing that has been created as OURS.

Alright I’m done with being senti - this is a sign to go do something that you’ve been wanting to do even though people around you have demotivated you. We cannot control people, but we do have the power in ourselves to do what WE want to.
