Greetings Here are a couple of things that I came across that I would like to share. 1 I came across this quote on the Advice To Writers site and I can’t stop thinking about it. 2 On the 99% Invisible podcast is an episode about the podcast Stuff The British Stole
I must say I had to keep pausing and laughing while reading this,the sincerity and honesty in is so painful ,you just gotta laugh because hai maan "kundzima,ukuba ngumuntu kunzima"
My opinion on perfectionism...I personally struggle with perfectionism as a creative and I'd 100% say is the main reason I never post my content and use "it's not the right kind" or "someday soon I will" or "eish marr dae maan is not just giving".I sit and sit,obsess,obsess,live the concept in my head until it births into procrastination and die's before it fully forms.
On personal branding,I agree with you it sucks,it destroys and it gets worse every second.
This year I watched most of the content creators I admire and follow on linkedin crash real bad,most admitted to failing to keep up with the image " personal brand" ,most decided to take a hiatus from social media.It made me realise how costing it is to live that Clark kent/superman life because at the end of the day it is kind of a double life; the constant posting,the constant need to present or give off a certain vibe/energy,you constantly have to keep up with maintaining an image/lifestyle and sometimes end up hiding your true self and eventually just lose yourself in it all.
Gosh thank you for sharing this and for sharing such raw thought provoking content.It hit home in all areas,I just had to comment on the parts that stood out for me
