So let me try to get things in order in my head first. Feeling like this is a little journal all of you can read. But seems like I like to think out loud.
Currently we've all be struggling with the algorithms of social media and it's been difficult to keep up and stay motivated and promote yourself for free so to speak. Instagram wants us to pay the maximum amount to promote us to bigger audience but we are not brands, we don't have so much money to do so. Also it's kinda demotivating because we look for the problem in ourselves. "Am I doing worse? Is it a bad quality content? Are people tired of this sort of thing?" But it's a mass problem.
So there are platforms where video content is appreciated more, but what about the photo content? Where should we promote ourselves and share beautiful photos for free with the audience?
On another note this month has been so busy and now I know to NOT take commissions for costumes just before a major event T_T I wanted to make my Triss dress for this event but I have to bring something bought this time and not made. Kinda feel odd about it because I prefer to make my costumes when I can. And it also means I can't compete automatically. But my biggest concern is that I've been sick for months and I finally have a clue what the problem is. It's treatable but it's hard. And hopefully soon I'll be able to resolve this problem and get back to my normal self. In that line of thought I've been feeling cautious of the costumes I would wear because I gained a bit of weight during these times, I had no movement, because I simply couldn't do any sort of physical activity, I had to eat certain foods that led to weight gain. But people don't usually know what's happening behind curtains and will talk.
So I've been wandering if I should take this costume of Zelda or the more covered one? The dress is so pretty tho T_T But because I've worked out a lot before, when I gain weight, my arms look even bigger xD I'm fully transparent with you here. Also who makes summer events a thing? It's so hot in a costume and wig..
SORRY for the long post and rant, thank you for reading! <3 XOXO
