And I think there were a lot of times where I just put like my health and my mental on the back burner because I was so fixated on like, I need financial stability.
And just like with anything else, it just becomes a habit, almost like addicting.
It's like, okay, I need to focus on this.
And I just, I lost sight of, again, like, what do I want?
What actually makes me happy?
There was such a scarcity sentiment.
Yeah.
I mean, even with content creators, it's like, you don't know where your career is going to be in a year or two.
Yeah.
I'm not going to say that there were like crazy downsides aside from like things that I had to figure out myself, right?
Like how to really manage my life and my business structure.
But I do feel like sometimes to my peers, maybe they like viewed me differently.
I think depending on the person, it might be something that they judge you off of.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think for some people it can be inspirational, but for some people it's like, oh, you're over there and I'm here kind of thing, which I understand, right?
Everybody makes assumptions based off of what they might know about someone.
But I also think the lifestyle that I was leading when I wanted to save up as much as I could, take care of my parents, do this, do that, that lifestyle was also isolating.
Oh, yeah, for sure.
It's just work, work, work all the time.
