There are so many things that I have tried to do. Because of all the things I’ve tried in the last few years, I feel like people look at me differently. I feel like that is also one of the reasons that no one “supports” me in my side hustles/businesses. It makes me feel like they don’t support me. Just because I’ve tried so many things. But that shouldn’t keep you from supporting someone you know. Do you know how that feels? To have no support at all? I feel like I’ve lost so many friends and acquaintances in the last few years for so many reasons. I don’t know if it’s because of me exactly, because I’ve changed since being a mom or what. Which I have, my priorities have changed since being a mom. My family is that priority. My family and finding a way to support them and pay our bills. It is a struggle. We are working to pay off some things so that we don’t have to worry as much about money. That is honestly all I want. I want to have things paid off, so that we can actually do things together, go to amusement parks and take vacations without feeling guilty for something. We would like a house someday. But when you have so many things to pay off, it doesn’t look good.
I love to write. I wish I could make writing as a career, but it takes time and I’m not good with all the formatting and everything! 😛 If I could just write everything and then have someone else format it and everything, I’d be all set! But alas, I can’t! Plus, I wouldn’t know what to write. I have so many ideas, so many stories that I could write but I’m horrible with the details in between. I know what would happen, but I’m not good with the dialogue part and all that. That’s why I’m trying to do a blog. It’s not as much, in a way. It still takes time, but not as much because it’s not as long as a novel! 😛 I have written some long blogs but still not nearly as long as a novel! But if I could do writing blogs as a career and get paid for it, that’d be great! Maybe someday! If any of you have any tips for that, let me know!
I need to have a set time that I write. I want to write my blogs at least once a week, maybe twice, but at least once a week! If I could do this and have a steady income, that would be my dream! My dream job is to be able to work from home with a stable/good income. To not have to ask off work for something whether it’s personal, medical or whatever it may be, that would be amazing. That is the reason that I tried so many side businesses such as Monat, Arbonne, and now Thirty-One. Those are the businesses that I’ve worked the most on out of all the businesses that I’ve tried. And still nothing.
Not many people know this, and one of the reasons that not many people know is because when I tell people something that I’m doing, I get little to no support from them. I’ve been told I post a lot to social media. But if y’all really knew all the pictures and videos I take, you wouldn’t say that I post a lot! Just saying. I feel like that is a HUGE reason that people take pictures and videos is just to post them on social media. Which yes, it’s great to show pictures of your adorable kids and what not, but that is not what life is about. To see how many ‘likes’ or ‘shares’ you get. While all that is great, that is what we are putting on acceptance and our self-esteem on. That is why there is so much depression, well one of the reasons.
Anyway, I got off track! Something that I’m doing that very few people know, is that I’m in school again. People think that I can’t decide what I want to do with my life because of all the different things that I’m doing. But actually, I do know what I want to do. My ultimate goal for work is to be able to work from home with a stable income. Not something that depends on sales and what not, unless I have my own business, my literal own business, because that would be different! But anyway, again, I am currently in school again. Funny thing is, we’ve tried to tell a couple people in the family and they didn’t even listen. Honestly, I was going to keep it a secret till I was completely done and never tell anyone till I was done. But I could use prayers with it all. We have so much going on and so many goals that we are trying to reach in the next year, we could use all the prayers we can get! I am currently in school getting my MBA, a dual cognate, in Strategic Media and Digital Content and Executive Coaching. I am very excited and nervous at the same time!
And then I want to post something to inspire people and motivate people, and then people will ask if I’m okay. Guess what? I am. I can post something to inspire and motivate others while being okay. It may say something about what I’ve gone through or possibly going through at the time, but that doesn’t mean that I am not okay. I’ve been told by multiple people that they’ve seen things I post and they ask someone close to me, if I’m okay. When they could just ask me themselves, or just not worry about it in general. Probably like this blog post, they will probably think the same thing, “Is Stacie okay?” To answer your question, yes, I’m doing great. Things a little stressful right now, but I am okay. So no need to worry! This may all seem like I’m being selfish, but in this case, I’m not trying to be selfish, I’m just trying to clarify things and let others know that if they are worried about me, they can ask me themselves and not go to others asking them if I’m okay because of something that I posted. I’m tired of people making their own assumptions and then that’s how rumors and such get started.
When I post things, it is to encourage others, not to bring attention to me unless it’s something that I’m proud of accomplishing or something. Or when I post my family. I love my family, so yes, I am going to post them a lot! Anyway, sorry for the long blog post today! Hope you have a great week and weekend! 🙂
Take care!
