This kind of “chaos” is the sigh of relief I think so many of us who’ve been in content creation for any length of time can appreciate. It’s so human, and I think the world desperately needs that over perfectly planned and curated. 💗

Right?! I think I’m just tired. Like I need a break. 🤣 and just do things for the joy or fun of doing them. Not to just hit a KPI or goal

That last part. "A pretty good way to live." I keep thinking of a quotation from Back to the Future, "There are no rules." To me, life is being spontaneous, and getting those thought down.

I like that. No rules. Just live. Thank you for reading my work

Malisa!!! To be fully honest...every time I read such advice (even if it's logically supposed to make sense), my body completely freezes over and shut down! For 2 to 3 years I tried to do it and just fucking couldn't! It made me puke or fling feeces over someone lol 😆.

Looking back the time you're experiencing now is the best feeling ever! We spend so much of our years trying to fit ourselves into a box that coming out of it feels so liberating! To follow our hearts completely. To not know the next step even if we sometimes get terrified. To choose that the right idea will arrive at the right time...to trust that it will move through us. That takes guts. I'm so so proud for you!

This is a journey all of us go through, and you're not alone my friend. I just scraped the group program I was working on, because it just wasn't the right time. Failed workshops, unlaunched seminars, too many drafts and ideas to count...not knowing what business we're gonna run... It's a part of the process I guess? But it makes us such better people from inside! Because the layers must be peeled before new growth isn't it?

This response has become an essay! But I loved loved loved this piece! And yes, I keep returning to your space because of YOU! And how you make me think and ponder on my own journey

Hi Shruthi! ❤️I feel the same way - so many ideas, so many directions to go. Am I just scatterbrained? Or is it evolving faster than I can catch up. Don’t know. Just when I settle on one thing or direction- doesn’t quite feel right. I can’t be just one thing. So I’ll just explore it all.

No you’re NOT scatterbrained!!! This is damn normal after forcing ourselves to fit into a box for years! Let your body, mind and soul fully explore their curiosity Malisa! It’s time! They will reveal themselves soon:)

I feel like it’s doing things and building a life that I actually enjoy living. Not perfection - not the perfect content strategy, not optimized, not controlled. Just doing it because I want to. Even if it’s messy or just plain illogical.
