I realized I am creating the same cycle. I’m trying to figure out my footing in content again. Finding where my love for it fell off. When did it all become so serious? When did the need to get it right took over?
Perfectionism… I’ve always dealt with it. A lot of us do. But how do we let that control go?
How do you break out of the cycle? Free from the need to be perfect?
I have no clue right now, but I can make the changes that I need for myself.
This website is all about being real. But why didn’t that show through my pictures? My life? Why couldn’t you see the reflection of my writing?
Oh because I fell into that the mindset of what society tells you to become in order to be successful. So I tried curate “perfection” on the outside to attract.
Trying to be perfect. Aesthetically pleasing. I was becoming instead of being. Trying to fit in with what I seen or what is told that works. Trying to be what I thought I needed to be in this industry. What I thought I needed to become to reach people. But the right community doesn’t need another perfection or unattainable influence; they need truth. I need truth. Openness. Normalcy.
I was trying to achieve the perfection or professional look but instead I was loosing me. Little key. The girl who just played dress up in her room and took photos not trying to capture the perfect visual or outfit. Just expressing herself through her own creative eye.
When you look at the girl in that photo above that’s who I am. Not perfection. Im just like you. I’m normal. Not trying to be a person who has an unattainable platform. Or make you feel less of yourself when you come here. I’m just here taking back my power. And inspiring you to do the same.
talk to you soon, Key Lashaye 🖤
