I was driving back from grabbing Popeye’s for dinner (I really didn’t feel like cooking lol) and just thinking about my journey of being a creator/blogger. It is crazy that next month will be 10 years of blogging! (inserts mind blown emoji). Like, I really have been blogging for 10 years and created this space long ago as an outlet for myself. This journey has not been easy at all and I started with no clue what I was doing and just figured out majority of it along the way. But I was thinking about coming up on 10 years and realizing I’m not in the space I thought I would be at this point.

Don’t get me wrong, I am super grateful for all the opportunities I’ve had along the way. I’ve gotten to work with so many amazing brands, discover a bunch of products I’ve fallen in love with and have made some money from it but I thought by now I would be monetizing more and be making more as a creator. I honestly thought I would be making a living as a creator or blogger but no. It isn’t super disappointing but I just feel like things should have been different at this point. I want to keep doing this because I love it so much and I’m not unmotivated but I just can’t put into words how I feel at this point.

But I do have some exciting things planned for the big 10 year (some giveaways and more) but I feel like I really need to tap more into my creativeness and really push things. I feel like I’m not keeping up with how people edit now and I just hold back too much on things I want to put out there. I shouldn’t be so scared because I never know how things will go or turn out. I know I have it in me, I just need to first get myself on a creator schedule so I can make time for doing things (which I am going to work on after publishing this post lol) and take it from there. I know life has been super demanding lately but I have to make it time for creating and being in this creative space of mine.

I have so much I want to do and try out. The other day I was thinking about how much I miss playing in makeup almost everyday. I just don’t wake up early enough to make time for it anymore and working on that. I want to try out new and different techniques I’ve seen online and elevate how I currently do my makeup. I’m in the process of rebuilding my wardrobe and want to get more into fashion posts and lifestyle posts and so much more. I’m still on my wellness journey and also looking to change up my skincare products and so much more. It is just crazy how you have all these ideas and need a way to execute them all lol. I’ll figure it all out but I’m excited and looking forward to what I’ll be creating and so on.
