I think one of the hardest hurdles I have to overcome as a creator is the fact that I made so many mistakes early on in my career that I feel like while my peers are going full sprint I& #39;m still limping along. I wish I was doing what I& #39;m doing now, but 5 years ago.
There& #39;s a lot of stigma with people who have been on the platform for almost 6 years and still don& #39;t have the same numbers as those who have been on it for less and it honestly feels bad. I& #39;ve gone for opportunities that I thought would work out well, and the just haven& #39;t
Either because people have used me, personalities changed, or even worse, I didn& #39;t know what the ramifications were. I& #39;ve hired people to look at my content and while I& #39;m happy that I& #39;m doing what I& #39;m doing now, I can& #39;t help but feel like I& #39;ll never be where I want to be
All because I& #39;m too late in the game, or that I just can& #39;t dedicate the time that someone who can push out 40 hrs a week of content can. But I haven& #39;t let that stop me. Not really. I still put out YT videos, I still have an active discord, I still stream 5 times a week
Not because I "need to stay on the grind" but because I love doing this. The amount of times that my mood as improved because I can use my stream as a creative outlet when I didn& #39;t have any growing up, feels good? I mean, it& #39;s the inverse of what happened when I started acting
I was on a week-long stage production, and my parents told me they& #39;d rather watch TV, because those actors would be good. So I stopped acting. I started playing music, my dad said I& #39;d never be good enough. So I stopped. Hell, I used to draw ALL THE TIME, now I barely doodle.
There& #39;s no real point to this thread, just helping me get through some stuff mentally. I don& #39;t think I& #39;ll quit streaming or making stuff, because even though some people tell me I should because I can& #39;t pay bills through it, I enjoy it. And I enjoy it for me.
Anyways, I gotta get back to writing another D&D campaign
