I’ve been pondering about this today. My partner of 6 months said that he thinks I do too much and try to tackle too many things... I don’t think he’s right; I know it.
I’m a YouTuber. Music director. Teacher. Writer. Composer. Musical theatre writer. Weight loss blogger etc.... I feel like I do so much and need to be doing MORE with myself in order to feel fulfilled or satisfied with my life. With my career. With where I’m going and what I’m doing. I don’t like it. I feel like I’m suffocating and need something to give. That’s why I joined this group. I see some amazing things and life transformations taking place in this sub and some of it inspires me to simplify my life and the things that I do.
I don’t have a steady income job. I freelance and gig a lot to make money and the hustle for a musician is fun and keeps the work exciting. It’s the YouTube and other social media things that are too much at times. I can understand why young YouTubers create farewell videos and stop posting content regularly. There just isn’t enough time in the day to edit all the videos and have an enjoyable life. I feel too frantic.
But this notion of becoming and doing MORE is absurd. When do we as a culture accept ENOUGH and stop striving for MORE. More money. More cars. More women/men. More friends. More likes. More comments. More subscribers.... when I’m 6 feet underground, those “friends” and likes/comments won’t mean much of anything except a fictitious number inside a screen. When will MORE become ENOUGH and when can ENOUGH just SUFFICE and keep us satisfied with less?
