I loved this. As a person who always felt frustrated and flustered because I never knew what to present from my jenga tower, this was so affirming. Thank you for formulating my thoughts into something that gave a sense of clarity!
this makes me so happy! im glad that my words helped you to find peace within your own creative journey. wishing you all the best fola and thanks for being a subscriber <3
This is so real. I found myself at an event recently dreading the moment everyone had to introduce themselves. Not because I don't know who I am but because I do. When you have multiple passions, goals, and interests, fitting yourself into a 30-second introduction can feel impossible. The challenge isn't discovering your identity; it's condensing it. I loved this perspective because it put words to something I've felt for a long time.
literally this! I have a video of me introducing myself at a jordan dinner a few months ago. im going to see if I can find it because I used a story to introduce myself, and then used that to funnel who i am to everyone plus, it makes me stand out. idk ahmere you mightve just inspired me to create a substack about thisssss 👀
As a girl who was always told I'd have trouble sticking to one thing as a "Jill of All Trades," it's comforting to know that I didn't make the wrong choice to keep pouring into all my interests. Still haven't figured out exactly how to maximize them professionally to steer my career in a direction that actually aligns with me, but I'm willing to put the work in to figure out which parts of me to highlight for whichever role I'm applying for. I've also been consistent with my content creation to hopefully open up a new opportunity that may not have come about from the traditional job hunt. I'm just open to all of the possibilities! Thank you :)
"I'm just open to all of the possibilities" - is the best persepctive you can have in this phase. sometimes we spend so much time planning something and the plan that we have is 10x smaller than what the universe has planned for us. all you gotta do is stay the course and remain yourself and whatever you want is yours autumn <3
Wow. As someone who has been stuck in third gear, when you mentioned the BlackBerry—how it was a great phone but refused to evolve??? it hit me like a brick!
