It is like you are inside my mind. Why as humans do we need permission to be more like ourselves and what WE want? I have been pondering on all of this in the last few days only, after months of trying to get my business off the ground to support my family (still doing what I love) and wanting to burn it all down at the moment. My creative flow is not happy when "I have to" post. I am tired of all the strategies online and being subject to people's advice on a daily basis. I am going to ponder more after reading your article and get back to what I truly want to share, rethink my time online and accept that as human beings(and women) we can't always be on.
There is absolutely a sweet spot- and that doesn’t mean there is no ‘hustle’ if you’re trying to get things off the ground. But you’re right— you’ve gotta sit with it all beyond the noise and you’ll know the way. ❤️❤️
Peta! I literally just got home from a walk with a friend where I chatted things through and decided to pause, maybe even end, my paid tier here on Substack. My reasons are similar to yours but also a bit different too. I feel nervous, relieved, excited about it. Thanks for writing this all out, it helps me a lot to hear the cogs whirring in other creative brains!
