I don’t know what was a worse feeling during the Christmas holidays, feeling like a charity case or feeling incomplete? I always felt both from being poverty-stricken and sadness. Christmas always reminded me that my happiness never resided in materialistic things.
During Christmas, the season of giving and receiving gifts, we may forget to
practice thankfulness. We can become forgetful, procrastinate, and try to squeeze
in time for ourselves as much as possible during the holiday season.
I am thankful that I made it to December 1, 2019. November
had a field day with me. There were days last month that I was discouraged. I
backed away from posting as much as I intended to on many of my social media
platforms.
You can not pay your bills with free products or social
media promotion from a company sharing you on their social media pages. The
influencer life that so many people have been losing sleep over and chasing in
their daydreams is the lifestyle that hunted in me in my nightmares. So many
women are afraid to admit that the influencer lifestyle is not ideal for every
woman who’s trying to grow her platform.
