Reading this filled me with so much hope. Your analogy of throwing a bottle in an ocean was apt: that's exactly the way I feel. I will continue to show up. Thank you.
I can’t even start a subscription function on my Substack. I’ve asked the tutorial a number of ways it doesn’t give me directions that work. So it wouldn’t matter how many followers I had, I can’t get my screen or posts to look like other people’s that have subscription bases. When I post stuff from Instagram or anywhere else, I I tap on the post icon, and there’s nothing posted. I’ve posted countless things and I have no posts when I go to my profile page and I look at posts…. It reads no posts. My notes are full of stuff that I put on there…. And nobody looks at that… when I comment on other people’s things I get hundreds of responses…. My followers came from just commenting on other people stuff. I am already known for being on Jessica Reed Kraus’ platform houseinhabit a number of audios of mine are on there with some of her journalism and notes to go along…. She even put me on her 20 best list of 2024… I also have a group of childhood friends from the Jersey shore, who are supportive of my intentions of being on social media, and the fact that Jessica Reed Kraus supports me, and vice versa. I would figure that I would have a great time creating some content of my own, but for some reason, I cannot post a picture and an article or something, that looks like everybody else else’s…. And I mean it’s every kind of person is doing this, young kids, the housewife, some depressed child with absent parents who has an emotional support animal… they are making really cool looking stuff with picture or video and some writing to go along with it… and I see these feeds every day. If I try to make one of these, it doesn’t show up where I put it, I made a test video, and that actually showed up on somebody’s text field that I was chatting with…. I’m not frustrated really…. But when I read about people starting out and then getting all these subscribers., I see the little red words that read subscribe next to their feed, and I can’t even create that image on Substack…. What’s up with that? Haha I’m lost in space on this platform…. I don’t feel like bothering Jessica with this as she’s a mom with so much going on and it looks like she had no problem creating these posts, I should be able to do it on my own….. anyway that’s my thought for now
"Can you believe in yourself when no one else does?" And "the ones who can sit with discomfort." 🥇

This is a nice reminder to not compare the start of my journey to other people's middle, or even other people's start.
Very Inspiring.
Thanks for inspiring me🌹
🧡 so happy that it does
That is exactly what I'm doing! Thanks for the motivation 🙏
