I need to be honest with y’all for a minute.
Lately, I’ve been feeling SO defeated with content creation. Unmotivated, uninspired, and stuck between loving what I do and wanting to quit altogether.
And I think a big part of that is comparison.
I see creators who are just starting out gain thousands of followers overnight, get crazy engagement, and grow so quickly. And while I’m happy for them, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little jealous, too.
Because sometimes I wonder if all the time, effort, filming, editing, and posting I do is even worth it.
My life is pretty normal. I’m a mom, a wife, and a business owner. I drink my coffee, clean my house, chase my toddler around, work, and do it all over again. And sometimes I wonder if that’s just not interesting enough.
I KNOW we all have different lives, audiences, and journeys. But watching other people grow so effortlessly (or at least it looks that way) makes it hard not to take things personally.
Because I want that, too. And I don’t think there’s anything wrong with admitting that.
But then I have to remind myself WHY I started. I wanted something that was just mine. Something outside of being a mom, wife, and business owner. A creative outlet where I could be myself and encourage other women to put themselves out there.
And somewhere along the way, I started putting so much pressure on myself to grow that I forgot it was supposed to be FUN.
Not every video has to go viral. Not every post has to bring in followers. Sometimes the content I create can be just for ME.
I’ve built a following I never imagined I’d have, especially on Facebook. I’ve gotten some really cool opportunities, worked with brands, and let’s be real, gotten a whole lot of free stuff.
And to those of you who consistently like, comment, share, or just show up here, I hope you know how much that means to me.
I guess I’m sharing this because I can’t be the only person who has ever loved something and still questioned whether they’re good enough at it.
So here’s your reminder (and mine) that someone else’s success doesn’t mean you’re failing.
And maybe our perfectly normal, everyday lives are worth sharing!
Xoxo
