Creating

I think one of the coolest things we have in the modern day is the ability to create content. While yes, it can get toxic at times, I think there are so many benefits for creative people.

Like I’ve said in the past, my favorite thing about making videos and taking photos is the opportunity to visually create a story. For example, if I’m sitting down telling you about my year and what happened, sure, I could try to sum everything up - or I could just show you. Let’s say I wanted to remember how I was feeling back in 2019 (for some odd reason lol). I now have a visual diary of sorts to remember those exact feelings.

With this in mind, I think it’s important to remember that if creating media is your thing, it should be fun. Sometimes I find myself thinking about how I can make my media the most “perfect” or “aesthetic” I can. And sure, that’s important, but it shouldn’t take away from the original purpose I had of putting stuff out there: it makes me happy.

So if I ever feel dumb taking photos or videos in public (and trust me I often do), I just take a step back and remember - it’s not that deep! Who cares!

And speaking of creating media, we have a brand partnership with today’s post! Since I’m always editing, blue light glasses seriously save me. These adorable blue light glasses are the Lily and Retro style frames from Sojos (they also make really cute sunglasses too for a fashionable Christmas gift if you will)! Thank you @sojosofficial I love them! 🥰
