3/22 Edited to

... Read moreCreating content on platforms like TikTok can be both thrilling and exhausting. From personal experience, I’ve noticed that as the creative process stretches on, especially when juggling multiple ideas or trends like #editedbyek, #solarsistas, and #eyetrend, it’s normal to experience moments of creative slowdown or 'laziness' toward the end of a project. To combat this, I find it helpful to take intentional breaks and engage with communities that resonate with my interests—such as those following the #fypシ or #jav0n tags. These communities not only provide fresh inspiration but also remind me that creativity is a cycle with natural ebbs and flows, not a constant burst of productivity. Another tip is to embrace imperfection. Sometimes, acknowledging that a piece of content isn’t flawless but still valuable can reduce the pressure, helping you complete projects without burnout. This mindset shift is key when navigating fast-moving trends or maintaining consistency in posting. Ultimately, balancing creativity with self-care and community interaction enriches the journey, making each creation meaningful beyond just the final product. So if you find yourself getting lazy toward the end, know that it's a sign to refresh, refuel, and reconnect with what inspires you.

what they don’t tell you about breastfeeding
hello ◡̈ When I began breastfeeding I felt like I didn’t know anything. I became overwhelmed with it and I definitely chop it down to the fact that I wasn’t well educated on any of it. Breastfeeding is almost this weird taboo thing, much less now than it used to be, but I feel like it’s just not

Things I would tell my 18 year old self:
Now that I’m 25 years old, I have had so many experiences now then I did when I was 18 years old. My mind was focused on partying, finally having my “independence”, and becoming a legal adult. Of course, as we grow we learn. So these are the thing I would tell my 18 year old self (and you guys)!
