Why I left Lemon8 and why I’m back…

I’ve seen so many people share their experiences with this platform and I thought I would share mine!

I joined Lemon8 when the platform was fairly new and I loved how creative it was and I didn’t feel the pressure to be fit a certain aesthetic.

I left because

- felt overwhelmed and thought I wasn’t creative enough

- felt like I needed to shop the latest content trends

I’m back because

- I missed the challenges pushing my creativity

- a sense of content creator community

With that I’m here to stay and I enjoy the app more than ever #embracevulnerability #shareyourthoughts #unfiltered #Lemon8Diary #lemon8challenge

2024/4/2 Edited to
