When you feel like you’re stuck between a rock and a hard place, how do you get out? Optimism has been a tool I’ve used countless times to break free from any ruts I find myself in. But how many times can you hear the words “Everything will be okay” before you stop believing it?
Social media has never been easy to deal with, let alone stay active on. The addictive trap of being caught up in how many likes and followers one obtains can also be emotionally damaging, even though it shouldn’t be.
I’ve found myself falling into that trap lately. I find myself feeling envious at the amount of attention others receive compared to my own statistics. However, it’s important to remember that my career as an artist and teacher isn’t going to be a quick walk through the park. There’s going to be a lot for me to tackle, whether it be with help from others or on my own. Although I sometimes feel as though it’s tough being optimistic, I know that it’s far too late to turn back now.
