Some times I feel like all the social media thing is pointless. You have to really fake it till you make it. I don’t know if I’m just that unmotivated but I ain’t about to fake shit. I’ll tell you how it is. I run my platform as I am. When I’m happy, I am happy. When I’m mad, oh the whole world will see I’m pissed. When I’m sad, even tho it’s embarrassing it’s something everyone can relate to. I’m normal, I get depressed, I have childhood trauma that is coming back to haunt me from time to time. I am human. I already get mentally overwhelmed trying to keep up with trends that if I added any fake ness to my page .. I’d definitely go off the edge. Some people might thing “ugh you’re so negative.” No. I’m real. People sometimes suck & they get the best of me.
Right now I’m stuck between forcing myself to post shit that is not relevant to my page to make sure I don’t get lost in the “algorithm.” And between not giving a shit and giving myself a social media break. I like to involve others in my life but not completely. I don’t like clients knowing every detail of my life because then I run into the problem where maybe I’m posting too much. Or maybe I’m posting shit that annoys people. I just want anyone who is running a business on social media… that yes! It’s important, and that is how business will flow. But having a mental break from even your business is more important. It’s crucial. Taking a break and coming back , feeling refreshed will have ideas float to you easy instead of forcefully trying to make things happen.
The standards of having some type of aesthetic is also something that will come with time. First thing is first, don’t compare your work to others. Don’t compare if you were going to tear yourself down- we’re all unique and we’re going to stand out one way or another to potential clients.
Stay true to yourself when it comes to your business. Don’t try to fit into others box. We’re all made different. We all do things differently and when you stop trying to be something you aren’t.. that’s when real happiness and talent stands out.
