social media holds dreamers hostage (the idea of living up to your fullest potential)

Lately, I’ve been on TikTok, scrolling to find inspiration on what I could journal about. I realize that in another life, I could’ve been any of those creators—the video editing, the content ideas, the confidence of being in front of the camera. Realistically, I could do any of those. So what’s stopping me?

I want to be more creative, and I do believe I have a lot to say—things that some people might even agree with. And it feels so much easier than journaling about it. Don’t get me wrong, journaling is also fun, but with videos and visuals, I could add pictures and reference other videos. Maybe it just takes too much effort?
