Sometimes life is hard, and that’s okay.
Trying to make something of this business has been one of the hardest things I have ever done. Constantly being told what is the RIGHT way to do things and being scared of messing something up. Scared of what others think. Scared to fail.
I am beyond thankful for those who have supported me already and continue to support me in various ways. Cheering me on, buying a crew, sharing my posts, or even just a like is more than I could have ever asked for.
There is so much emotional work that goes into this behind the scenes that rarely makes its way to social media. It’s not that I intentionally hide the struggle or the problematic parts; it’s just not something I ever think is worth sharing.
Today I realized, though, that we are all human, and social media has become so edited that we have forgotten it’s OKAY to be human. It is OKAY to struggle. So here is me, being a human and telling you I too struggle. This has been hard to do. Social media is hard! I said it!
While I smile a lot on here and only share the “ups,” I go through many more “downs.”
The important part of all of this is to acknowledge your downs, process those emotions but continue to try every day. Even if the next day is only 1% better, the little things WILL add to great big things!
