I have legs, and so do my Interests

Me, with legs 😂

This is not the planned blog post, but I’ve been struggling to stick to my content schedule because I feel the need to make things clear to those of you who read the blog. Why does this matter? 

Copywriting for this blog and its socials is difficult for me because I find myself torn between sharing the exciting things that work for me while hearing what works for others, and sounding like a sage who already knows it all. I do not want the latter at all. I’m more interested in learning and sharing than sounding like a sage. I realize from the response I get on the social media accounts that maybe, I am sounding like an expert and not much like someone also in a very experimental stage of my life o here is a story of my current state (of confusion?) to help me look more human and less perfect. 

 

Before, I was solely a fashion designer working full time and now, thinking about how I want to resume my own clothing line full time.

I tested the waters of life as a business consultant which allowed me to spend a lot of time with entrepreneurs listening to everything they have tried and tested and learning from them while working with them to come up with any necessary solutions.

Those waters weren’t smooth, but they haven’t been rough enough to scare me away completely. As a result, my interests have moved around and so currently, anything that puts me in a position to work with (preferably young) entrepreneurs has my heart before anything else.

 

Above all, I’m a student still pursuing my undergraduate degree, remotely for now.

Me, with more legs so that you don't forget the point.

 

My point being, things move around, we move around, our interests move too as life aggressively hits them and makes them reconsider many decisions. It's okay. I have legs and am always on the move so I won't punish my interests for wanting to use theirs too. New interests translate to something like a clean sheet of paper or rather, a new neighbourhood. I need to do a lot of exploring- meaning, I do not know a lot. I’m learning and I learn better by sharing because teaching allows me to break things down into simpler bits for my audience, forcing me to fully come to understanding with whatever it is that I am learning (hence this blog). One thing I make sure to do though is to make sure that whatever piques my interest at any given point, I put effort into learning as much as I can about it because if it must be done, it must be done well.

 

One thing I’m struggling with, is ‘what would people say about me?’ Most often, I don’t care at all.

On other days, I feel like a loser without a solid plan because ‘if my plan was solid enough, why did it change?’ but I am working towards getting to a point where I am able to fully come to terms with my nature- ever-evolving and to nobody’s preference but my own. If you've felt or still are feeling the same, maybe we can have a chat and bond over misery or solution? 😂😂

 

Here is something that has kept me grounded as I continue to evolve everyday;

A fun habit I realized I have, is that I tend to find ways to connect all the many things that I find myself doing at any point so that I feel as if the success of pours into the other which will help me succeed in the next. I don’t know if this is true yet or not, but I believe knowledge is never a waste, so I recommend you try it too. It motivates me to do all the work I have to do no matter how disconnected they seem.

 

If you find yourself dabbling in many things at a time, definitely send me a message and we can have a chat about how I practice it while I also learn what has worked for you.

 

With so much love and hints of confusion,

The BUILDer, Shorshor
