How writing and becoming a creator changed my life

You have to be really bad at something before you are great.

Yes, I wear Crocs in public, take in Israel when I saw the moon rise and sunset at the exact same time!!

I was thinking naturally in the shower this morning, where we all get our best ideas, right? Well, at least I do. They pop up, and it’s always a great brilliant idea, and sometimes I remember it, and sometimes I forget it.

Well, today I remembered (hint) it’s this article. I did forget until I saw my page open blank, and I had to remember what I was going to do before I got distracted by another project I was working on.

I am currently trying to juggle, and it is tough to keep up; luckily, my new theory is just to do.

This led to my thought process of writing and creating content, which changed my life.

First, I need a trip down memory lane, maybe 2015 ish, I don’t remember. All I remember is the desire and want to create online.

However, it had to be perfect, the right idea, style, and aesthetic, and everyone had to approve of what I was doing. Plus, I had no real push; I had a cush job, was in a relationship, and lived in a beautiful house.

Except inside, my brain was in turmoil. My outside did not reflect my inner world until I went and let loose…
