Blog Post 017

Not gonna lie - I had no idea about what I should write about today and I've been so inactive with writing lately that I truly thought, I lost my touch.

Hi - I'm back. 

These past three weeks have been a never ending learning curve .. with working on our website to having alot of plans in the pipeline and obviously work (my own 9-5) - I can not keep up! 

Today .. well .. these past few months of me trying to do my "own thing" have thought me so much about myself and about other people in business. 

In this day and age we're all trying to build something that is ours, work on something that is true to ourselves and something that truly fulfills our soul - it's very difficult, not everyone is cut out for a 9-5 and not everyone is cut out to be employed with a major company and that is ok. The ride is going to be never ending, to try and reach your own goal and actually be self-sufficient in a nightmare economy but you'll manage just like the rest of us. 

I always try and learn / teach something that will help me do good / be better. Today I'm going to teach you about something which you might have already been aware of but me being me - I tend to always see the good in people .. I don't know why. 

People in business are "different" - there was also a post on "Women for Women" on this (It's a Maltese group on Facebook for Women). 

Some people will truly respect your hard work and really would love to help whilst others are there to abuse of your kindness and / or of your products / servicers whatever. 

We've adapted such a sad and greedy culture - which is horrible.

I have seen people making their own business by buying things of "Shein" and selling them, I've seen people abusing of their "talent" and buying knock-off's "reworking them" and selling them as if their original (it's very obvious that there is profit involved there) - and don't get me wrong it doesn't piss me off because their doing something which is "non ethical" it pisses me off because eventually the one person that has pure soul that will sell true and authentic items .. they will never reach their goal but - what I learnt is to say "it's fine". 

It's not really fine but you have to adapt to these kind of things in life.

I am working on something which is my dream, it's something I always wanted to do but never actually had the courage to do so until I met someone that told me "If you never try, then you'll never know". 

Will I manage? No idea.

Do I deserve to have my "own thing'? God only knows.

Should I be allowed to give advice or narrate what happens to me? I don't think so but, my heart and intentions are pure. 

What I'm trying to mean by saying all of this is, never get discouraged by someone else's successes in life, it doesn't mean that because they managed today you will never manage. It's difficult, I know but if you want to do it .. so be it.

No matter how many failed campaigns, people abusing of you or your services, issues that will arise and discouragement - you deserve to have a chance like somebody else did. 

Am I pissed off that I remained true to myself and never bought any followers? Of Course.

Am I pissed off that I didn't find a random blog nobody knows about and just copied all of their posts? Of fucking Course. 

Am I pissed off that half of my efforts seem to be for "nothing"? YES.

Am I slowly giving up .. yes

The list is never ending and reading that all over again made me super sad because I just know that half of ones efforts will never be noticed - it's okay, someone will see your potential - I promise you (keep me accountable) xx 

But, I believe in the universe and it's timings if not today, maybe tomorrow. 

You have no idea how happy I am to get that off my chest .. the next blog post will be better .. I promise xx

Peace and Love,

Your Local Writer,
