Tiktok is for Creatives!

Being someone, who personally enjoys dancing. I definitely can say without a doubt that Tiktok is a great place to go if you like dancing or want to build some sort of audience. I first started on the platform uploading random videos of me dancing to K-pop which gained more than 100 views surprisingly! Tiktok is a great place to start if you got the time to express your creativity through short 1 min maximum videos.

I first learned about the app through one of Gary Vaynerchuk's podcasts. He talked about how the app was going to be big and I wanted to see it for myself. I later started uploading more videos on the app over Christmas break and was amazed that I even started getting a few likes and comments on my posts.

I currently use the app to upload performances to songs that don't end up on my IG or Youtube dance page. If you are a creative of any sort I'm sure you can find some sort of value through this app. It is inspiring to learn about other peoples' journeys on the apps too.

Highly addictive! I find myself scrolling through the app watching dance videos, vines, and memes. Videos ranging from asian stereotypes to anime references. I end up using this app for hours but I don't think my time is wasted. The app definitely does brighten up my mood in a certain way.

Balance is key: if you want to get good at Tiktok and still balance your regular life that you had before it. I would recommend using the app only on certain days and when you do use it try to be very intentional. An example of this would be only using the app to upload content rather than only consuming content for 3 hours straight. You have to make sure you have a life outside of social media and still try to maintain an ability of not being afraid to share your art with the world!

I hope you find something helpful here! Please consider subscribing to my blog if you did. I do my best to post regularly.

Why I Stopped Blogging For A While And My Life Restart For 2021

 Besides how crazy last semester was and the current pandemic of things, I honestly didn't want to try anymore. I had created too many walls to even start. I spent majority of my time rediscovering myself. I missed who I was before this pandemic started. One setback I wanted to let people know about was that this was my first time not going home for Christmas and spending the holidays alone in my college dorm room. The rest of this post will elaborate on the events that took place. I felt like I became Batman. Stuck in my hole without anyone. I turned to anime specifically very dark anime. I stopped majority of my habits I had developed last school year including blogging or making Youtube videos. I stuck mainly with working on my art drawings that I had created the past school year. I slept late and ate junk food especially McDonalds. At one point, I felt like I had essentially fallen into a rut. However, this was only the hard parts of the story. I saw myself grow. Social media s...

Why You Should Say "Hi" First

Ever walk down the street and see millions of faces you don't know and just wish on the inside that you had the courage to talk to people. As an introvert and shy guy in general, I have struggled with this problem for most of my life and all of that slowly started to change the moment I decided to take initiative and say hi first. No one will wait for you to say it. I found it to be more of an instinct that occurs the moment I lay eyes on a close friend or acquaintance. It helps with easing the tension when our brains recognize a familiar face. If you struggle with social anxiety, this may help you ease those worries but the best way to do it still is to recognize that you need to reprogram your mind to see social situations in a different light honestly. The only exception to this is someone who ends up ignoring your presence entirely as you acknowledge them. It is a very dissatisfying feeling but there definitely are people like that. Don't worry about them, they aren...

What I Learned About Life From Watching "Codename: Kids Next Door (KND)"

Image
The Kids Next Door (KND) is an early 2000s Cartoon Network TV show that was based on the idea of kids with their endless creativity teaming up with their friends to fight off their enemies who were regularly adults. I know this concept seems a bit convoluted but it actually is a lot more understandable than it sounds. KND only fights evil adults that treat others badly because not all adults are bad and not all teenagers are bad either; it is the acts of unfair treatment or cheating that causes this team of operatives to spring into action and save others, specifically kids. They are similar to the Men In Black or the James Bond for children giving them a voice when no one could at their age. When I was a kid, this show had an amazing impact on me! I couldn't believe how awesome kids were creating amazing tree houses full of all kinds of amazing technology. In modern times, things have only gotten better as kids are becoming even more creative through social platforms such as Tik...
