The current state I am in is actually very surprising, even to myself. How a person can change so much that their previous self will almost be in extinction is one thing I haven't come to really understand. I used to be a very active person on social media and my space used to be so much fun. I liked putting my thoughts out and I didnt have issues posting my pictures or putting my business out there. Just suddenly, I am not that person anymore and it takes extra effort to do something that used to come naturally before.
I just seem to have lost the energy to put myself out to the public and this has been going on for a while. It has started to affect my business, because I rarely post nowadays. That's the only part I do not like about this problem of mine. God knows that if I were not doing any business, my social media platforms will probably be uninstalled from my device or that I will totally ghost myself from them and just use them without anyone knowing.
For someone who has a lot of plans about social media this year, I am not showing signs of seriousness at all. It is not even about being unserious now, it just feels as if all the strength I had for social media has completely drained. Last year, I was on and off on my WhatsApp and it always took an extra effort to bring myself back online, especially to post. For this year, I can count the number of times I have posted anything on my WhatsApp status.
I'm also really glad I put myself on a streak to post everyday on hive, that has been my source of strength to keep posting. If not, I might have taken a break from this space as well,
I just want to find myself again, find that confidence and energy to put myself out there. I want to go all put for my business and focus so much on my growth. I just want to stop feeling as if the social media is not somewhere I am meant to be. I want to use social media to my advantage this year and build connection with other people.
For my business, I want to tell so much people about it and create contents relating to perfumes. If possible, I want to post every single day so that my business is taking space in people's minds. The more I take a break, the more they forget about my business; I have come to realize that. I get DMs from my customers, asking for things they need regardless of me posting or not. However, I should not limit myself to only some set of people. I should expand my reach if I truly want to grow.
The main problem now is that I don't even know where to start from, what to post first, and what not to post. A part of me wants to update people on my CL about why I haven't been posting for a while, and another part of me feels like it is not needed. I don't really know what to do, but I hope I figure it out. I will never give up.
