My dad called last night to check on me and said, “life isn’t a straight line, sometimes you have to go backwards in order to go forward.” That’s definitely what I’m feeling, but I know it’s what I’m supposed to be doing. Why do we wear stress and burnout like a badge of honor? It’s not sustainable and I’m so guilty of it. I am so excited to feel the creative juices and passion again (and to find time for them).
I got more text messages, DMs, and calls yesterday saying “I’m proud of you” than the day I opened the store. I have an achiever personality so even though it looks like a failure bc it’s not what you’re “supposed” to do, knowing you’re still proud of me meant more than y’all could imagine. You’ve supported me through every phase of this business and I can’t wait to see what the next one brings 🤗
