I really hope more people because this one I'm really proud of.
it kind of was so motivating because it's like even if you work on something and you're really passionate about it, maybe you want to start a side hustle, you want to start a business and you go live and I've seen people posting content and it's like you see people post content of their Shopify notifications going insane and maybe you launch a business and you get two sales that day, right?
that's not to say it's a flop, but it's so easy to fall into that comparison trap, right?
Or let's say you want to start, like, posting on Instagram or TikTok and you want to start going into creating, but you only get 200 views.
It doesn't mean it's a flop.
The flop is not like a death certificate essentially.
No one ever goes to Ellen Menken with your best friend.
Actually, it was beautiful and everyone knew it.
And also, like if I'm in like a physical flop, if I'm like, oh, I just feel a bit ugly, which is fine.
Like, okay, yes, I think we can also just normalise feeling a little bit ugly.
You're not actually ugly but you're allowed to be like, I'm fucking ugly today and that's okay.
