I hate social media, and I'm filming it for my kids

I undoubtedly hate social media. Bet. I undoubtedly hate social media. Bet. I undoubtedly hate social media. Bet. I bet. I undoubtedly hate social media. Ever since I was young... Bet. I undoubtedly hate social media. Ever since I was young, I was always really self conscious about the way that I spoke. Whether people told me I was too loud or I couldn't put together sentences or I sounded like an idiot, it was something that I really didn't like speaking, especially on camera. So whenever any whipped out a camera, I would always go to the back or I'd leave I'd leave the picture because I never liked the way I looked or I never liked the way I spoke. And it's something that really bothered me for a while, but through being able to document my journey, being able to talk about things that I'm going through every single day with Quan and the business, it really allowed me to open myself up and to really think and look deep down into what I was really doing. And I grew a really big appreciation not only for the fact that it has helped me grow a community that is absolutely amazing. I am so grateful for that. But one of the biggest things is it allowed me to document my journey. It's something that I could look back on in five years, ten years. I could show my kids later on in life and be like, hey, this is what your twenty three year old dad was doing. This is the beginning of everything and I get to show them every single little slip up, every single little loss. I could go back and look at this video and be like, I remember that and I was broke as hell at the bottom of life right before everything started and there's just something really beautiful about seeing that and having everyone be able to follow the journey of where we started from and where we're growing and where we're gonna go to in the future. And I think even though I hate the idea of comparing yourself to other people and putting yourself out there, it's something that is it's something that can go... That... It's something that that... It's something that should be really appreciated because without this, without this amazing community and without without social media, I really wouldn't be able to. And I know I wouldn't have done regardless. So now I have something to show my kids, and I have something to be proud of at the end of the day. And I think that's the beauty of putting yourself out there.
