Not me posting something for the first time in almost a month and then throwing my feed out the window with what I post. 🙈
But I have had 0 desire to post anything. Not because I am not busy, not because I don’t want to share any of my work, but rather because realized that I am so sick of trying to fit into a box.
What do I mean by that? Well it’s everything to do with social media…What I should post, when I should post, what my feed is supposed to look like, because apparently we are taught that consistency is everything. Basically find your niche and stay in it.
And after 5 years of trying to fit into a certain niche and only worrying about consistency I realized I lost something along the way. A little bit of my spark. ✨ I started believing that all the other parts of my creativity needed to stay hidden because they didn’t fit into this box I have built for myself.
Now as I type those thoughts out for today’s post, I can’t help but laugh, because when did we let these things dictate our lives? Especially as creatives, aren’t we supposed to break the mold a little? And I can’t even tell you what changed for me. Maybe I did. Maybe I’m just at the point of my life, where I care a whole lot less about doing things the way I am supposed to, and rather how I want to. Do I dare say I am growing older? Maybe even maturing? 😅 ( okay lets not push it lol)
But what I do know is that I want to start sharing things that make me feel something. The shoots that light something up in me. The photos I finish editing and just sit there staring at for a second thinking : Holy S**t! I did that! 😱
Don’t get me wrong, will that still be a horse and their person in a field at sunset most times? Hell yea!! But apparently, sometimes it’ll also be a red dress on top of a parking garage in downtown!
I think I’m okay with not knowing exactly what my feed is going to look like anymore ( and you have no idea how liberating it has been to delete any kind of planning app off my phone lol). Actually, I think I’m kind of excited about it!
SO if you came this far, here’s to my new mantra : F**k fitting into a box. Hell yes to creating and sharing what I want 💁🏻♀️
