At least once or twice week, I look at my blog and YouTube channel and debate if I want to keep going. I admit to looking at others and wondering what I'm not doing or how can I get there. I know I'm not supposed to look at others and stay on my own path. I know that success comes when it is your turn but sometimes it can get frustrating. You can get discouraged at times and want to throw in the towel.
I remember the promise I made to myself when I started this blog not to quit or give up. I started a blog before this one and after about a couple weeks I deleted it because I impatient. I had to learn how to be patient and wait for things. I thought it was supposed to be instant where people would read and comment. A few months later, Naturalle Drea was created and it was hard to keep going. It was hard at first to not want to shut everything down again but the more I was writing and started recording videos, the more I wanted to keep going. All the views and comment worries went away, I wanted to do this for myself. I loved this outlet that was my space and something that was just about me and the things I love.
I am so proud of this space I created and it has only gotten better over these 4 years. I am super close to hitting 100 subbies on YouTube (are you subscribed??) and glad I stopped holding myself back and just did things I wanted to try. I only got one Halloween tutorial up this year but looking to put out two next year with some more practice. I'm getting better at editing and looking to improve the quality of my videos. Sometimes I still worry about if I'll get to that level of sponsored post and stuff but in the meantime, I'm loving what I do. I love coming up with ideas, recording and editing late at night (well not when I have technical issues lol) and just doing this for myself. I honestly appreciate those who have been in my corner and keep supporting me. I shouldn't worry about those who do not support me, they don't matter at this point.
To anyone who reads this and feels the same way about your passion and goals you are trying to accomplish, just keep going. I know it is hard putting in all this work with slow results. All that work you are doing is for something and will pay off in the end. Just keep going, you never know what could happen if you stay consistent and positive.
Hope you guys have a great weekend and see you Tuesday!
