Just Be Consistent

Just Be Consistent

Let me be real with you. After three whole days of radio silence, I finally posted something today on TheDreamersPause. Yay me, right? But guess what? Now I’m sitting here like, “Okay, and then what?” Brain: empty. Ideas: none. Vibes? Confused.

But just when I was about to wrap myself in a blanket of self-pity and binge-watch people who do have content, someone reminded me about this magical little word: consistency.

Now listen — whether you're a blogger, vlogger, writer, singer, painter, dancer, professional overthinker, or just someone trying to make money with your talents (and maybe a sprinkle of hope), let me say this: consistency is your bestie. Even when your followers ghost you. Even when no one likes your stuff. Even when your own dog skips your content. Just. Be. Consistent.

I remember when I switched my Pinterest to professional mode for TheDreamersPause. Y’all. I had four whole followers. Four. I was feeling like the CEO of Something Small. Then I dropped a spicy post called Selective Outrage (you should really read it, by the way), and boom — someone unfollowed me. Maybe I was too real. Maybe they hated it. Maybe they sneezed and accidentally hit unfollow. We’ll never know.

I was down to three followers. Three. But did I quit? Nope. I kept posting like I had a million fans and a TED Talk next week.

Fast forward to today — the 20th of May at exactly 11:53 AM — I posted something new on my blog and BAM, I got two new followers! I was like, “Okay, we’re going up!” But of course, plot twist — someone else unfollowed me. Not even because of the new post, but probably because of a past one. Maybe they just didn’t like my font. Who knows?

But here’s the point: I felt discouraged… but I kept going. And I’m telling you — you better keep going too. You never know what’s gonna pop off. You might be one post, one video, one weird idea away from your big moment. Keep posting. Keep writing. Keep dreaming. Just. Be. Consistent.

Also — while I have your attention — if you have some free time (or just pretending to be busy while scrolling), please check out my Pinterest: TheDreamersPause. If you decide to follow, like, save, download, bless me with your attention in any way — THANK YOU SO MUCH. You're a real one.

And if you ever see TheDreamersPause or Lilo Phedra pop up on any social media platform — TikTok, Instagram, Mars radio signals, whatever — don’t hesitate to follow. I’ll be there, posting through the chaos.

Until then, remember: don’t stress, don’t guess — just be consistent.
