The idea that you can make a living by creating content is really amazing, and a huge opportunity for anyone. But one of the main problems I have with it, and something I see in some creators, is how they’ve turned their entire lives into content
I’m not saying this is generally good or bad, but from my own perspective, it feels wrong. I don’t think you can truly enjoy your life if you’re always optimizing it to become content🌹

The new studio space is ready! After this break I'm so excited to get back to making new animation work, vibing with frens, and having fun 🌈

There’s nothing and no one that could ever change who I am, except me. I’ve learned that I can’t keep reshaping myself to be liked
I mean, sure, I’d love for people to like me (I mean, who wouldn’t?) But not at the cost of my own self. I don’t want to be an actor. I want to be my real self. Love and performance cannot authentically co-exist if you ask me

Bro, I wish I could let man slide but my pride too heavy to let a man violate 👻
Grams been out here tryng to bully everyone and I can’t just watch that and stay silent.
Ruthless entertains. Ruthless protects.
Thank you for your attention to this matter 🫶🏻
