Chapter 1: Overcoming Self-Doubt

I was in a productive groove. The work was flowing, and things were moving forward.

As I triumphed over my fears and insecurities, I felt a sense of accomplishment... for a moment.

Then, that familiar voice of doubt began to resurface, albeit in a different form. Rather than worrying about how I presented myself on camera, I found myself grappling with how to begin anew after numerous transitions—moving, settling into my new environment, celebrating the holidays, and welcoming a new year.

I recognized this voice all too well and had the skills to dismiss it previously, but this new version was far more insistent. The rise of tools like ChatGPT and other AI technologies sent shockwaves through the blogging community I had closely followed for years, leaving many creators feeling overwhelmed.

In response, I resorted to my reliable coping mechanism: silent observation. I kept my thoughts to myself when I noticed how AI video technology emerged shortly after discovering innovations like Midjourney and Dall-E.

I remained discreet about the advancements from companies like Microsoft that could transform a brief audio clip into convincing speech and music.

Now, these technologies have gained significant attention, and I experienced a moment of realization back in December.

I don’t mention these developments to say "I predicted this." Such thoughts are precisely what paralyzed me from sharing my voice on camera or in writing initially. I have never been one for showmanship.

Promoting oneself feels daunting, and that nagging voice has cost me countless opportunities. I refuse to adopt a salesy approach to share the experiences of an early adopter simply for profit.

This post doesn’t aim to make a specific point; rather, I needed to break free from my cycle of hesitance. When I initiated this account, I expressed myself freely without worrying about what might attract engagement.

It served as a refuge for my thoughts, much like TikTok became a platform for my lighthearted videos.

Those moments were the only times I genuinely enjoyed creating in the digital realm, and I know I must always allow that joy to guide my content. Yet, it isn’t always easy when a vivid imagination battles against the very instincts that propelled me forward.

I’m exhausted from overthinking what might resonate with others. The path ahead seems clear, but I cannot feign authenticity. That’s not who I am, and if it results in never earning a dime from my art, so be it.

Content creators often feel like athletes in a game that drains the joy from what once saved me—something many people overlooked just five years ago.

Don’t misunderstand me; I appreciate the accessibility that digital media has fostered. I'm thankful that more individuals have found the courage to create, draw inspiration, and explore artistic mediums that challenge their perceived limits, even if their initial motivations were financial.

I could elaborate further, but I think you understand my sentiments—a topic for another blog post.

If you resonate with my feelings, thank you for listening. I see you, and I appreciate your presence.

So, for now, I’ll take my own advice and "Just Post It Already," committing to share more frequently while keeping my true purpose in mind.

Art has the power to save us time and time again, if only we allow it to.

Insecurity and the pressures of content creation be damned.
