Just wanted to share some thoughts on content creation:
I put my focus on youtube and tiktok for the last few months and now I try to expand and share my content with more people on different platforms. I'm excited but at the same time it feels a bit discouraging to start from 0 again 😭 I know I shouldn't focus on numbers and enjoy being creative and sharing my stuff, but in the end you share your stuff because you want people to see it. So there is a small line between having fun and feeling some kind of pressure to post more to get recognized by others and spend more time on socials, which take away time to be more creative... at least that's how it is for me personally.
And with the pressure of being recognized I want to share another thought: sometimes I feel the need to jump on trends to (probably) get more views. It can be hard to find your own style when you scroll through tumblr (or other platforms) and you always see some similar styles if you know what I mean. And this is NO hate! I love these posts and I enjoy them but I sometimes feel like there are some styles that people love and click more. And it can be hard to stick to your own style or in my case finding my own style, and not trying to fit in a certain style that's in trend right now. I'm inspired by these posts too, so I'm not better.
Maybe the message I want to say is: social media can be tiring as a small creator who tries to find their place in here.
