For starters, i had no idea these you tube flight reviewers even existed.. interesting. I am sure AI is watching me type, and now it will be my new newsfeed.

And for a long time I didn't want to be a content creator because everyone is doing it.. So freaking true. Yet when i want to learn how to plant a papaya tree from seed, i look it up.. and bam 800 videos on this.. and they work, i have papaya trees sprouting!

I had to delete insta and fb to stop feeling like everyone was already doing something. I am also earning enough on Medium to support myself in Colombia (ok not much is needed to be honest)..

I have also started over 10 blogs, and failed a bunch even with people showing me.. i think failing is the only way i personally learn.

Before that papaya tree grew i have killed so many poor plants and seeds..

I lost my train of thought, but this article is gold. Agree on the not reading travel guides I prefer spur of the moment exploring also!
