Lets talk...

Summary

The creator shares a personal update about feeling uncertain and dissatisfied with their current creative direction. They want to make ambitious, hands-on videos but find it difficult to collaborate while living in Florida, where they feel isolated from other creators and lack a nearby social circle. Traveling to film is expensive and logistically challenging, and they’re frustrated that much of their income has gone toward projects that haven’t always turned out as hoped.

They’re focused on leaving Florida and building a life somewhere more socially and creatively supportive—and affordable. A planned move to California fell through because of high rent, complications involving their pets, and doubts about whether the move would feel right personally. A previous attempt to move to Atlanta also ended after problems with the rental house. The creator hopes to relocate during the second half of the year, though they’re anxious about the uncertainty.
