I’m About to Get Really Cringey

I’ve seriously been thinking about where I want my life to go in the next few years. There are a lot of changes that I have to make in order to transition my life from “so-so meh” to “holy balls, this is awesome!”

It’s one of those things where we have to really push ourseves past that point of comfort, past the point of worrying about looking ridiculous. It’s at this point that if I want to shake things up either personally or professionally.. I have to get cringey.

Maybe not as cringey as a Botoxed babe pushing the latest GLP-1 all while using CHATGPT to create another boring assed post. But I can’t be hiding offline in my cute little apartment while I need to be “out there”.. living publicly. FFS.

I asked people last year whether you should advertise the changes you’re making or do you keep them private. Everyone said private. That part I found interesting because you’d think that being upfront you’d get support or at least a group of people invested in your success. I’ve been reading though, that often, the opposite is true. Too many people counting on your failure, silently cheering your downfall. Sounds super shitty to me. But, I can totally see how that happens too.

I’m torn. I waffle back and forth, but I think I’m going to get out there a little more and be fully transparent on some items and maybe secretive on others. Time will tell, but I know I need a shakeup. Wish me luck.
