I can’t believe I haven’t written to all of you in nearly a year. My URL has lapsed & been purchased (KatGalaxyBlog.com), and I’m now writing in a brand new place at KatGalaxy.com. Welcome, nonetheless. What a year it’s been. Do you agree?
I wish I could come here a year after I last wrote and say that things are amazing; that I conquered all of the “demons” of my past and that I’m a complete, plastic, bubbling success story. The truth is, some things are better, some things are worse. And now, at 28 years old, I know that there is no thing as “true success.” There is no thing such as “getting there.” There is no perfect position, and all we have are our stories.
Since last year, I started my own company and now write and market via social media for a living. It’s been a year of business growth, times of too much work; you could call my first year a wonderful year. I gave myself a raise, I learned a lot about myself and being a small business owner, and I also discovered that although I’m good at the “marketing” side, I will always, truly, be a content creator at heart. I’ve learned about nightmare clients, I’ve explored boundaries, and I’ve grown my voice, just a little bit.
