Everything You Read Online is a Lie. Even Me.
The story of a tired freelance writer.
No one shows that shitty parts of life online so here you go.
I’m as guilty as everyone else.
It’s your friendly neighbourhood burnt-out writer and I don’t have any life lessons today. Nope. I am just tired. I haven’t been on Medium much because I’m busy writing product pages, or websites, or lead magnets for my clients and I just have no time.
I even joined a writing course a while ago and had to bail after one week…
So I wasted $100 and the only person to blame was me. Why? Because I had to work and take calls during the course’s meetings even while on my vacation and I barely got to leave my house each day.
Not to mention it was just tax season and I hired an accountant but I was still overwhelmed and afraid he’d judge me for being a disorganized mess and a clueless freelancer who doesn’t know how to run her own business.
And why would I?
I’m not rich. I never was, and I grew up thinking $40,000 was a crazy amount of money and if I ever made that much I would be perfectly happy. Hell, I lived off $20,000 a year as a student and still managed to travel a bit and live a pretty decent life.
