I’m Good, Bro
I gotta be honest. It’s been a stressful two weeks.
February has brought lots of new people and ideas into my life, and mostly all in ways that should be very exciting. For some reason though, I had an awfully hard time getting excited about it. I think it’s because I like to be able to make a plan and stick to it. February is only the second month of a year long plan - one I spent the last six months of 2022 putting together. So when there was an opportunity presented to us to try to speed things up I tightened. It was a route I hadn’t previously considered and it through me into a whole new world of possibilities. I spent the last two weeks trying to shift things around and I lost a little bit of focus.
We’ve also added a new element into the mix here at Beautiful Idiots LLC: social media. Let me tell you, creating content at hyper speed is not exactly my cup of tea. TikTok tells me the average viewer is watching our videos for 2-3 seconds so… wtf am I supposed to do with that. You know what I mean? Not the point. The point is it’s another thing added to the pile that we have to do every week.
So that’s what it’s been lately. Meetings with new people. Feeling like maybe somebody might help with one thing, so we should consider how to readjust to fit everything in, then finding out that’s probably not going to happen but somebody else might want to help another way, so maybe we should consider how to readjust to fit that in. Plus we gotta make seven clips a week for socials, and shoot music videos, and get new pictures, and make sure releases are uploaded, and make sure taxes are in order because deadlines are coming up, and I just started to feel like my head was gonna explode!
But hold on. Take a breath. I was working out and finally when my head was clear I remembered: This was my plan to begin with. The only schedule that really matters is the one I set for myself. As long as we stick to that, we’ll be good. Sure, somebody might jump on board at some point and speed things up, but that’s icing on the cake. The beautiful thing about it is it’s just us, and there’s no pressure.
It’ll be fine. I’m good, bro. I’m good.
