@cozymamajess: A note on ~duality~… I didn’t really want to participate in this trend, because I’m REALLY trying to focus on the positive.. But I also know it can sometimes be cathartic to just be honest about things I’m actually feeling and I knew I had things to ~contribute~ lol. I do want to point out though, that I’ve been doing SO much work on myself, and my life and I can honestly say that I’m in such a good place. I feel really mature in my attitude about comparison, self-worth, etc.. It’s not my first rodeo doing things like “mindset work” to try and work through those battles so there’s such a duality in both feeling envious of other creators while also feeling genuinely happy for them and looking to them as an inspiration of what’s possible for me. And even though, our family is navigating private challenges such as money, I also know that we have wonderful assets that will make that easier in the future and we’re also so lucky that my husband earns enough so that we’re able to pay all of our bills, contribute to debt and savings a little bit, and still have enough to live a bit of life too. I get bad anxiety and have some mental health struggles, but I also take gratitude walks almost everyday where my mind naturally thinks about how fortunate I feel to be in a place that feels like home, and to live a life that feels so quiet and happy and safe because that didn’t feel true for me just a couple of short years ago where it felt like my world was imploding. All of this to say, even though there are challenges, my life feels really sweet right now too. I’m so happy I get to unwind with my favourite games, make content about it, work with brands even when they’re mostly just product exchanges for now (I know that will change the more I grow and the longer I’m in the game), that I have excellent mentors in the content creation space, that we have food on the table, that we’re able to put my son in extra-curriculers, that I can host events for our friends, that I can buy my son new school clothes, that we live in a wonderful little house and have a beautiful backyard.. like I’m just grateful for all of it. I just really feel like I needed to say this too because yes I have struggles, but I am also really happy. Thanks for reading xo
