I think LinkedIn has ruined the way I look at content. Earlier, if I liked a thought, I'd post it. Now my brain asks a different question: "Why would anyone stop scrolling for this?" At first, I thought that was the problem. But it isn't. The real problem is something else. When I started posting, I had years of stories waiting to be told. Lessons from college. Mistakes. Internships. My first job. The things I wish someone had told me earlier. There was always something to write about. Now, after sharing so much of it, I sometimes sit down to write and think: "Have I already told all my stories?" And that's a strange feeling. Not because I've run out of thoughts. I still have random observations and ideas throughout the day. But most of them don't feel important enough to share. And when you're trying to grow as a creator, a question quietly follows: "Will people even care about this?" Sometimes that question helps. Sometimes it stops me from writing altogether. Maybe this is just a phase every creator goes through. And maybe it's the point where you stop looking for big stories and start paying attention to smaller ones. The conversations. The observations. The moments that don't seem important at first. Honestly, I don't know. I'm still figuring that part out. Curious if other creators feel this too.
