Finding My Place as a Creator in a Crowded Space

I created this space because I wanted to see more creators that looked like me. Existed in a similar type of space/circumstance I do. Unfortunately not really seeing that also makes me feel SO out of place in the blog/YouTube space.

The imposer syndrome of “mine doesn’t look like theirs, so no one will care” is so so loud. I’ve stopped and started this journey so many times in my life. I’ve started three different blogs since 2010. I’ve had the domain for this one since 2018. I’ve never felt like I had the right path. I had the idea, but nothing really felt “right”. I feel like this is the way to go forward but honestly, I’m super afraid of failing.

I know they say that even one step is forward, even if it’s just an inch.

This is what I want. This is where I want to be. I want it so badly that I feel like I have to prove it’s worth all the time and energy it’ll take. I have so many other responsibilities and it’s so easy to just push this to the side because I have things that are “more important” to do.

Because this is something that I keep coming back to, I feel like it’s something that I have been called to do. It’s not a perfect life, but it’s mine and I’m proud of it.
