Sorry, I went a little MIA for a while! I got to go on the most amazing cruise to the Bahamas with my sister. It was my first cruise, and it was an absolute blast. What made it even better? It was cruise!! That's right, 5 glorious days of sun, water, and getting my face melted by bands like Yellowcard and Mayday Parade.
The most exquisite part? Being with people who get me! As adults, we don't often have much choice of who we interact with. As a small business owner, I get to have some control, picking and choosing my clients. But there it was all amazing people from start to finish!
When it comes to social media, it can seem like we want to be as palatable as possible. We want to be nice and approachable. But what makes you stick out, what makes followers and fans out of people, is when you let your weirdness shine! When you connect with people on the unique things you love! Mine is music and dressing like a toddler and tattoos and delicious food! Yours might be your faith or your kids or your heritage, or your location. But you've got to let your freak flag fly!
If you come of generic and dare I say, normal, you'll be forgettable. Will everyone like it? No! My boyfriend didn't come on the cruise because he would've hated it! So you might not have everyone in the world follow you, purchase from you, connect with you. But I can guarantee that there are enough people out in the world who love the things you love enough to support your dreams! Get out there and show them!!
