... Read moreWhen I started sharing my favorite donut shops online, I often worried about how people would react to my posts. The fear of being disliked or judged was very real, and honestly, it made me hesitate. But I found a helpful mindset from a friend who said, "It's impossible to be liked by everyone, and that's okay because you aren’t even a donut!" This lighthearted but powerful reminder helped me accept that no matter how delicious or carefully crafted my posts were, some people might not connect with them—and that’s totally fine. For me, focusing on the people who genuinely love the content and the joy these donuts bring was much more fulfilling. Highlighting spots like Sweet Talk in Port Moody, Goldie's Donuts & Bakery in North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Vancouver, and Langley, and Doughnut Love in Coquitlam, allowed me to share my genuine enthusiasm for these treats without needing universal approval. Cafe hopping and exploring foodie gems around Vancouver has become not only a delicious journey but also a personal lesson in confidence. Each donut shop has its own unique style and flavors, and sharing them helped me connect with others who appreciate the local scene. Whether you are scared of putting yourself out there or simply want to discover great donut places, remember that it’s okay to be yourself—even if some people don’t agree. I encourage you to embrace imperfection and share your passions bravely. The energy you spend on those who appreciate your content is far more rewarding than trying to please everyone. So go ahead, grab your favorite donut, and create content that reflects your true taste and personality. You might just inspire others to do the same.

Why I’m scared
I have been struggling so much recently with pursuing my goals. Between starting my business/blog and looking into applying for an MBA program I’m not stressed I’m just lacking motivation. It’s more fear than burnout, and while I am stuck in my head. I just try to move forward a little day by day.
