4 minutes in from bed with the puggos and had to hit pause because my heart started a-flutterin’ hearing you talk about the whole comparison thing. This always feels so vulnerable to admit because we feel like we shouldn’t ever admit that we compare ourselves to others, but it’s so so so so hard not to! You know quite well that you and I are in the very same boat together, so I can relate to how you feel regarding your disappointment about things not turning out the way you had hoped in a very deep way. Like you, I started my vlogging journey with so much energy and optimism - you always hear people say well-meaning empowering things like, “share your story!” and then when you put the time, effort, energy, courage, bravery, and intense emotional labour into actually doing it, it’s so hard to feel as if nobody is listening, or that nobody cares. It’s so incredibly difficult seeing other people and other channels blow up to millions of subs with the stupidest content sometimes - I came across one just today in my “niche” that made me so mad I had to shut down my laptop! I also completely understand the exhaustion of putting on a positive face & attitude for the stuff we share online publicly with others when really, what people don’t see and the reality of it all can feel suffocating. I know how meaningful and significant your videos are Tyler. I know what it takes to film, edit, upload and publish them. I’ve been so close to giving up so many times because who on God’s green earth can keep doing this for nothing and what feels like nobody sometimes? How long can someone create off of hope and optimism before starting to wonder if they’ve been fed a lie about success being inevitable so long as we’re authentic and true to ourselves? Seems quite the opposite to me, lately. Anyway I’m really glad you ended up posting this video, I know you were second-guessing it but I’m so grateful that I get to listen. I also know that these emotions are 6-8 weeks old by now hahahaha so MY emotional responses to you are delayed and probably irrelevant now, but it obviously doesn’t mean that what you shared wasn’t real at the time. Back to watching ❤
Firstly I just want to say thank you so much for being so vulnerable and sharing this video. I can relate so much this video and I’m in such a similar situation. I quit my 9-5 after spending years getting the qualifications for it, but I was so burned out that I was not living just a zombie. The I’ve always had to work hard for everything in life was so real. I pray for your success and happiness 🥰❤️
It's okay to have a rest day! We all need it sometimes. At the end of the day, you can't put your full everything into things if you're exhausted and burnt out 🫶 Going down the rabbit hole must run in the family, and it freaking sucks. As you told me earlier, your emotions are valid, and its okay to feel them! Im so happy you took the day to rest. ❤ you are 100% still giving it your all, even on the "rest" days, and you STILL HAVE two more months, and A LOT can happen in two months...look how far you've come already! I loves you 💗 I wish I could do half the things you can do. You're an amazing photographer. Your candles smell amazing. Your paintings all tell a story and have meaning behind them and they are all amazing. your jewelry is so unique and beautifully made. Your shirts are rocking. I have goosebumps. You are amazing and your name is gonna be big, I can feel it! ✨️ I think everyone judges no matter what, you could work the job they want you to work, and they'd still complain. You bust you a$$ every single day and keep doing it! Time to say tooodaloooo mutha fucka to all those people ✌️ Plan rest days for you. You deserve them! ❤ I wish I could hug you through the screen. I am sorry if I ever made a comment or suggestion that made your day worse. I know how hard you work at art and everything you do. I couldn't imagine being told to do something a certain way when that's not what im passionate about. 😕 being a business owner is so hard. I think people give suggestions thinking they are being helpful but dont know that they can actually hurt and do the opposite effect. I love you and your art and will continue to support you when I can 😊
Sending you hugs my sweet girl xo This is Shelley using my other channel not my Little Kozy Korner channel. This channel has all of my subscriptions on it LOL I know it does take a long time to get to where you want to go. Leave it to God don't do the comparison thing, You are immensly talented and your art, jewellery, candles, clothes will take off. Give yourself a break it has not been that long and you are growing. Have you tried getting into facebook groups that have on line auctions and that kind of thing? I know that they are out there I just don't know how they work. I am an introvert and suffer as well from depression. I hear you, I see you and you are not alone. We as creators need to be there for each other and love on one another and support each other♥♥♥
Dear Tyler, I listened. And i thought about what i could write, that would be of any meaning or use for you. Not just some bla bla. And of course one of the first things that came to mind was to send you some bible verses, because they come from the ONLY ONE, that can truly help and encourage you. JESUS understands everything you are going through. HE held you in the past, in present times, in your exhaustion, and HE will always. And HE loves you so much. And if there is anyone who is really proud of you, it`s HIM! And please, if i might say so: rest! GOD will provide for everything! Let HIM do that! "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40:31 “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord your God the Holy One of Israel, your Savior." Isaiah 43 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1,9 Another translation says: for the LORD your God is with you in all that you do. - I love this because if HE has commanded you to do a certain thing, HE sure will never let you go down. I hope these verses speak to you. ❤ And yes, i heard, that you dont want any advice, but i didn`t want to let this Video uncommented either. 🙂 Especially in a situation like that, and even we don`t know each other personally, I want to at least be someone who RESPONDS and says, “Hey, I’m here. And i hear you.” And most importantly: GOD is here for you and hears you. Even if things still don't go the way you want them to. Sending you much love from Germany! 💐🌹🌻
