“What a blessing to be tired in the pursuit of a challenge of your own choosing”
I’m proud to say there are very few times in my life where I’ve done something I didn’t want to be doing, and during those times, it was often strategic acceptance. Meaning, I knew it would get me to where I wanted to be.
Even more rare is me being on the fence about something. Decisions and choices typically come easily to me.
Posting about myself on social media is one of those exceptional outliers that combines strategic acceptance & me being on the fence of choosing to do this.
See, I don’t like to publicly hype myself up, brag, or be an open book to just anyone. Yet, to “make it” on social media, those are things I need to do. Especially when a large part of my business revolves around people seeing, liking, sharing, and commenting on my work.
Being honest and putting more of myself on here with the goal of connecting with people deeper than just surface level is something I’m still working on and trying to do more of.
Let’s face it, there’s millions of amazing photographers and videographers on this platform. In order for me to stand out, I need people to connect/ relate with me, not just my work. But also, for me to feel inspired and creative, I need to surround myself with likeminded individuals.
This is where social media can be a fantastic tool. Beyond the veil of BS dancing trends and superficial people posting about how great their lives are, when they secretly hate themselves, lies groups of creative individuals looking to share their passions with others. People who hope to make a positive impact on other’s lives and inspire people with all forms of art.
Those are my people and who I’m looking for more of. Let’s be exhausted together, encourage each other out of our comfort zones, and create impactful content together.
Long story short, expect to see more of me on here. I won’t always make posts like this, but I’ll try my best to fit them in.
If you’re relating to any of this, don’t be afraid to reach out!
