You know what's refreshing?
Being me.
When I started this journey into freelance copywriting, I thought it would be really hard to turn just me into a brand.
But promoting myself is easier than I thought. Because I don't have to be anything other than me. It's my tone of voice. My ideas. My personality.
When you interview for a job, you can't totally be yourself. Because they don't want to hear the 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 you.
🙄 “I hate 40-hour work weeks.”
😴 “I love to sleep.”
🤗 “I'd rather be with my kids.”
😜 “I need to prioritize my physical and mental health over 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 business.”
🙃 “My best ideas come to me on a nature walk or in a hot shower, not in a sterile office.”
Being 100% true to myself is liberating.
Because I like me. I know people don't often say that. They don't want to sound conceited. But since you choose who you are, you should absolutely like that person.
What's not to like anyway? I'm silly. I'm kind. And I have a strong work ethic. Yes, I want to succeed, but I also want you to succeed.
So you be you. And I'll be me. The beauty in that is underrated.
