Why do we choose to do what we do?
I started this blog because I want a creative outlet to share my thoughts and stories. I want to start internal conversations with any readers that may find my posts. I am told I am good at expressing emotions. I am a safe space for people to be vulnerable without judgment. It’s a running joke with friends that I am sort of like a therapist at times. I enjoy listening, and if need be, give any helpful advice or support.
They say you shouldn’t always monetize your hobbies. I agree! Writing is something I enjoy for my well-being. I would write poetry when I was a teen to deal with my ever-changing emotions. It helped me process events easier. At one point, I became obsessed with the idea of being a music producer, and I tried writing a song. Currently, I’m opening up more and posting on platforms such as Medium, Instagram, and LinkedIn. It feels good to express myself, but at the same time, I try not to have expectations regarding my receptivity and insights. I won’t lie withholding comparison or ignoring my stats is hard sometimes. I want to do well because I believe I have potential but don’t we all?? I am not special, just different. I have to remind myself why I do this, and followers, views, claps, or likes aren’t the reason why.
Will I ever get 100 followers? Will I be a part of the Medium Partner Program one day? I have no idea. I will continue creating content, sharing my thoughts with you, and following my heart. I don’t want to ruin this good thing and set expectations. They tend to lead to disappointment which doesn’t feel good. I will focus on what lights up my spirit, and I’ll hope it resonates with someone. That is all I can do for now.
