Ughhh, this is a hard one. The complexity of it all, having it be how my business really flourished and began to now finding it no longer fulfilling and in my line of future work is hard to come to terms with. There was truly a time where I felt prime in my lashing and in ways it's sad to think that I don't feel that same creativity and joy from it anymore. A big part of it is definitely just the space I currently am in life makes it so that the sets I do are fairly minimal and not as creative as I used to do.
I have bittersweetly reached a time where I am now deciding to have a closing out sale on all my personal lash brand stuff. As an entrepreneur there are risks you are going to take that aren't always going to go as you had hoped and planned. I put 2 years of effort into planning my own lash brand and as proud as I am that it came into fruition and got some support, of course I am sad that it didn't pop off as I had wished. Im sure there's more I could've done to promote and get it out there but at the same time I'm just allowing it to be what it is.
Being a SAHM I have taken a big seat back with lashing in general as well which is why it hasn't been as fulfilling as it used to. I can tell there is coming a point where I might let go of lashing as a whole which is crazy to think that its really how my entire business really picked up, but looking forward I think with getting my esthetician license I desire to work doing more holistic services in conjunction with my spiritual services like offering facials, yoni steams, and incorporating reiki would be so fulfilling and be more in line with where I see for myself in my career. I also am giving myself grace and reminding myself that I can always pick up lashing again in the future if I desire as it is a skill that I have gained and cannot lose.
