Blog, Meet Vlog

I think I am ready to tell you why I’m here.

I love creating content. I really, really love it.

I used to have a blog and I only blogged sometimes. I was the definition of inconsistent. I had no blogging schedule and I had no niche. It was kind of blah(g).

So here I am now and I have no blogging schedule and I have no niche. So who am I and what am I even doing here? Why did I create this blog and a Facebook page and a YouTube channel?

I have no idea. I just know that I love creating content. I really, really love it.

See, I figured that I have to actually start doing something to figure out what it is that I want. Instead of sitting around and looking at what other people are doing with their lives, I’m going to start putting what I’m doing out there too.

Why not? My kids are cute. I know how to Internet. I’m not afraid to share most things.

I know what I can do. I know what I could do. I know what I will do. But I don’t know what I want to do.

A person who is important to me asked one day, “What do you want to do, Laura? Where do you see yourself in five years?”

I paused. Not because I didn’t know the answer but because no one had asked me lately. I hadn’t even asked myself. I just knew. But it wasn’t necessarily where I wanted to see myself.

He went on to tell me that I am in a unique place right now because not knowing what you want yet means that you have time to create.  He advised me to create and create and create. He told me to keep making stuff until I know. He told me every day to dream big.

I feel like someone has taken a heavy book off the top of my head and I started floating up. Like I can see from the sky that there are more layers to what we can do with our lives. It also feels like I am not grounded anymore and that’s a little scary. But it’s a little exhilarating.

So here I am. Creating content. And I’m over here too:

I’m just going to go ahead and create and create and create. I will keep making stuff. Until I know.
