Well, I did tell myself I would start locking in this year, but school really caught up to me so I haven’t posted on the Instagram in several months. To be honest, I’ve been really demotivated lately, especially cause I know that 1. No one reads this blog 2. I think I’m Instagram shadowbanned so no one sees my posts 3. Again, school is really taking a toll on me. Today, however, I’ve decided to switch my mindset. I’m deciding to start over, not to care about the numbers, or followers, but to anchor me back to my original purpose for creating the Flawless Truth. I created this website because I literally would spend every day on InciDecoder for several hours researching every ingredient possible. To be honest, I don’t know how I did that, and I think that trying to replicate that experience has made me super unmotivated. 

However, starting from today, I’m going to slowly start reupdating the website. The worst of my academics isn’t over yet, so I probably really won’t gain momentum until all my finals are over and I get some free time. In terms of other good news, the youtube channel isn’t doing so bad! I’m really surprised my first video got 1.3k views. It’s not amazing, but wow 1000 people decided to watch it, and for a decent amount of time too. I did spend several hours on it, so I’m glad my efforts paid off.

Well, this is a short blog post and just to get me thinking about the website again. If you’re reading this, thank you so so so much. Although, I have a feeling that will happen 10 years after I post this, when some random person is searching for just the right terms and somehow Google SEO works in my favor, but oh well. 

Be kind to yourself, amelia
