For as long as I’ve known myself, I’ve known that travelling is my thing. I haven’t travelled much in my entire life, but whenever I get the chance to go somewhere, even if it’s just a short trip, I get super excited. When I watch travel videos or see pictures of beautiful destinations, they genuinely make me emotional. I’m not even exaggerating. Something about seeing how stunning this world is makes me want to explore every corner of it. I always say that if I travel enough, experience enough, and see the world to a certain extent, I could die feeling fulfilled.
It’s funny how places some people dream about visiting are just another person’s everyday reality. And it makes me wonder. Do they even realize how lucky they are? Do they truly feel the beauty around them, or does it become normal once you’re used to it? Could the way visitors look at a place with awe, with wonder, with gratitude, be completely different from how someone who sees it every day might see it.
Anyway, I’ve finally made the decision to start content creation, and my niche is going to be travel, and maybe anything else I find along the way. I won’t lie, I have a lot of fears. So many, in fact. But I don’t think there will ever be a day when I magically stop being afraid. Starting something new will always come with fear, and maybe that’s okay. Part of the journey, I guess.
The biggest puzzle right now is how to start. I don’t have the money to travel long distances or go outside my country yet, but it wouldn’t be a bad idea to begin right where I am. There are so many places in my own city that I haven’t explored. Maybe that’s where I’m meant to start, and from there I’ll grow. First exploring my city, then my country, and one day, the rest of the world.
I know this is going to be such an interesting ride, and honestly, I’m already overwhelmed. There are so many thoughts, so many plans, and so much to prepare for. Should I learn professional video editing? Should I learn how to properly start content creation? Should I wait until I have more money saved? Should I focus on getting my apartment first? Should I be worried about whether people will like my content or not? Should I build a solid strategy before I even begin? Should I just start small and grow along the way?
It’s like my mind is constantly running through a checklist of doubts and questions. I won’t pretend, I don’t know how to do this. I’m scared of a lot of things. But at the same time, I’m incredibly enthusiastic about the experiences I’ll gain from this journey. The butterflies I feel aren’t just fear, they’re excitement too. And maybe that’s what makes this whole thing worth trying.
I’ve realized that the perfect moment might never come. If I keep waiting for everything to align, I might never start at all. So maybe the real first step is simply deciding to begin messy, scared, unsure, but willing. And that’s exactly where I am right now. Ready to start, ready to learn, ready to see where this path will take me.
By the way, this is my first post in this community so if there are things I need to know, dont hesitate to put me through. Thank you.
