I was editing the website & I noticed I start every magazine with “bro” lol. I was about to say it again today but I didn’t. Lemme tell you what happened this month tho. The universe saw me getting comfortable and knocked the wind out of me. First off I got fired from my welding job that I’ve been at for over a year. Next the designer that makes ALL of my logos/designs quit. Bro just ghosted me lol. Then I couldn’t get the new Roseo collection made because I didn’t have the right files, & I couldn’t get the files because my designer stopped selling. So $400 later I found a new artist. Mind you all this happened within a week. So it was all back to back to back bro.
I’m not gonna lie I felt defeated. I had my low moments. Like bro I thought like I was doing good, life going good no worries at all. But oh well bro.
As far as my welding job I knew they were trying to fire me. I got written up every month since January. They said my production was the problem. The beginning of the year for a production construction beam job is going to be slow. I got written up for production & I literally didn’t have any work. Next month I hit my rate & still got wrote up. My supervisor told me I need 4.5 hours of production to hit my goal. I hit five hours with tack and weld. When he fired me said “we want 4.5 of tack, not tack and weld”. That’s damm impossible if every beam in tack is worth 0.2. And theres only enough space in my area for 8 tacked beam. So he did everything in his power get me out of there. Fuxk it tho, guess I didn’t need to be there.
My designer ghosting me pissed me tf off. Because I had ordered from him a week before. He could’ve told me he was going to stop selling lol. But I found a way better & faster designer so I guess it was a blessing in disguise.
As far as the Roseo collection I have no idea when it’s going to drop. I just got my graphics back May 3rd. And the printing shop has about a 3 week turnaround & I gotta get some models & find a place to take pics. Plus I’m redoing the website & need a bunch of new pics because this theme is wayyyyy better than the basic Shopify theme. So good that it cost $500. A necessary evil lol. But I’m back on my bs. I made a good new friend named Khari & he’s gonna help me with my social media presence & marketing.
I know I have what it takes to stand out and be successful. I just don’t know how to go about it. That’s the hard part for me like I can come up with all the coolest designs but as far as marketing and get them out there, that’s where I really struggle at. I’m not really a social media person and all I do is work so that’s my main conflict but I’m trying to overcome it. I have to if I wanna escape the 9 to 5 in like mundane lifestyle. Not saying I’m better than anyone or anything but every job I go to they tell me I’m too smart to be there lol. I have a background and architecture engineering and welding so whenever you teach me something like I go all in and learn. Confidence really scares people. Especially in blue-collar work if you’re not weak minded and your supervisors can’t easily manipulate you they don’t like that lol.
But it is what is it is. I’m only 23 life isn’t going to be easy. I guess I’m destined for bigger and better things that’s why all this bs happened at once lol. Until next month. Peace is hard to find. Nirvana Prime.
