Not everyone will understand your journey. That’s fine. It’s not their journey to make sense of. It’s yours.

You can literally do anything — even with the best of intentions — and if enough people hear about, someone isn’t going to like it.
You can also do absolutely nothing and get the same result.
Just do your best to set a good example.
We’re all in the same boat.

The moment you begin creating content just to feed the machine that is social media, is the moment you become its servant.
If you want to save yourself from burnout or losing sight of what really matters in life, focus on creating content that satisfies your needs, not the machine’s.
Otherwise, you run the risk of being manipulated into creating content & acting in ways that don’t accurately represent who you are or who you want to be. And when this happens, no amount of likes is going to make you happy.
Because the truth is, that in the grand scheme of things, it’s not likes that really matter, it’s the quality of the connection between you, your work, and who you share it with that matters. Potent beats popular.

When you truly believe in yourself and what you intend to do, it matters far less — if at all — when others don’t.
Remember, you are not here to confine yourself to other people’s expectations. You are here to live life in whatever way that brings meaning & purpose to it.
You and your life are a work-in-progress and will be every second that you exist until your expiration date.
Set goals worth striving for — even if they’re lofty — and begin the journey to accomplish them. Recognize that mistakes are how we learn & failure is simply feedback, it is not the end.
Take what you learn from all life experiences — the “good” & especially the “bad” — and keep pushing forward with a purpose the best that you are able to.
