My friend called me "The Queen of the Side hustle" the other day and I must say, I didn't like it. Now I know she didn't mean anything by it, but it hurts because that is the last thing I want to be known for. But it's also my own fault because that is what I have been doing. I don't want it to be this way but I have been trying to figure out how I can be my own boss. It is a tricky part of life for me right now; having three young kids and all. I need to put them first and therefore I take on things that will serve them first. Being a mother requires you to do that. That is why I am okay with it for now but I am still on the search to find exactly what will make me happy. For me, it is writing. I have always wanted to be one and never fully took it seriously until recently.
Therefore instead of searching for a freelance writing position, I am going to make my own. I will put out the content that makes me happy. Sure it may not be financially rewarding, yet, but someday maybe. The content that I only hope can help someone else out as well. That is why I will continue this blog, continue my YouTube channel and just document my life and share what I am doing in hopes it will help inspire someone else to do the same.
You see, we all get to decide. We get to decide what we want to be, where we spend out time and energy and not everything has to be about the money. I want to be a writer because it makes me happy. I want to share my voice, my thoughts and my experiences in hopes that it helps someone else make a better decision for themselves. In hopes that what I say and share will make a difference and encourage someone to step out of their box and be something they have always wanted. I think when we scroll by these influencers on TikTok and think "Wow, look at what they are doing. Look at all of their followers", many of us just wish we could have the same thing. The only difference between them and us is that they are putting themselves out there. They are posting without thinking and they are doing their thing. They aren't worried about the judgement. They get to be whoever they want.
Judging someone else will not get yourself any further in life. Being yourself will.
