To the young people following me, I want you to remember this, not everything is content creation. Please, build something real.
Creating content is amazing, and yes, people make money from it, but don’t make likes, views, and trends your only plan. The internet changes quickly, and the attention you have today may not always be there tomorrow. Ask yourself, what value will you still have when the phone is off?
Build a skill. Learn a trade. Start a business. Pursue a career. Become excellent at something. Let your content be a reflection of what you already do, not the only thing you depend on.
The most sustainable creators are people who built something valuable first, then shared their journey with the world. Content should be the branch, not the root.
Build first. Then tell the world about it.
After the 5th puff, I realized it hits different knowing that as a parent it cuts and hurts deep knowing your kids no longer regards your decision, advice, opinion about their life, nor respect you.
