My New Fixation

Evening,

   I've been AFK for a fat minute, but REJOICE for I am back with news of grandeur.

   I'M BECOMING A PROPER BUSINESS OWNER!!!!!

   My bestie and I are working day in and day out on a PROPER LLC. Since, this venture has been the entirety of my essence these past two weeks, I'm looking to rant about it to literally everybody I come in contact with. 

    Now, I'm not gonna sit here and blow smoke up our asses for the next however fucking long it takes me to type this, but I am gonna toot my little horn. TOOT TOOT fucking TOOT!! I'm so excited you guys have no idea. 

    At this point, you're probably wondering, "Maylin, what are you even talking about right now?" Well, dawg, lemme tell you. My friend and I are building an online social platform built for grown ups and grown up activity. Things I cannot speak of here because that's not what this page is for or about...that's what tumblr is for. Essentially, we're taking all the stuff we have issues with in our line of work and SOLVING them while making those solutions open to the public. Simply put:

    Why have at least 8 (COUNT EM EIGHT) different social media accounts, sneakily promote on each of those consistently, and risk being entirely debased, when you could just have ONE that is built to handle all sorts of adult stuff. Seems like a NO BRAINER. We also must consider the fees. LORD THE FEES. It's so frustrating to tirelessly work all the time, claim the "perks" of working for yourself, and have to then pay 7, 8, 10, 11 different sites (if you're that wide spread) and companies just for needing a few of their specific attributes. Don't even get me started on paying for verification on twitter. Dear God. 

    Point blank, my bestie and I are bridging that gap, saving people good hard earned money, and building a space in which they can do what they actually want to do. It's not PLAGUED with adds, and even if we do host adds on our platform they will be from small businesses and businesses in our industry NNNOOOTTTT just a spam of b.s. brain rotting, agonizing, I DON'T WANNA DO THIS ANYMORE, adds. It's monthly membership only, so we DO NOT touch the money you make per sale. Everything on our app is built by and run by humans. NOT AI. It's set up to match you with exactly what your searching for. No more hunting and searching and wasting time sifting through shit you don't want to look at. Your feed is actually FOR YOU. We aren't doing this for the money. We aren't doing this for fame. I mean, neither of us use our real names on the internet for fuck's sake. We just want to sit here and solve these massive issues. We want to change the game entirely. As Debbie Ryan astutely says, "I wanna make history". *insert hair tuck here*

    When I tell you I am itching to get this thing off the ground and openly accessible, I fucking mean that shit. Golly, man. One thing about me, guys: I am an obsessive person. This project has all of my attention ALL of the time. It seems so big and game changing. Sometimes it's hard to take a step back and remember that I currently have clients that I need to service and that this project is not everything. But, it really feels like it. I know it's important to also step back and remember that we are still beta testing and things are gonna go wrong, we're gonna fuck up along the way, and that's ok. Discouraging, but perfectly normal.

    It feels like I'm walking into another chapter of my life I never considered possible. One that not only allows me to continue doing the job that I genuinely love with all its flaws, but opens the door for sooooo many men and women like me who share my struggles and are desperately searching for a permanent fix. 

    Long story short: The stars are aligning, and I'm hanging on my the edge of my seat to watch something I've spent so much time on take off. 

    Not often in my life have I heard or read about the sensation that comes with working on something you believe to be bigger than yourself. It's daunting. It becomes a cycle of putting the world on your shoulders and then getting excited that it's there. I can't even really put it into words myself I'm finding. If this does what we have built it to do, then everything is different. That fact alone is a little scary, but oh so exciting. The pros outweigh the cons big time on this one. And, I was blessed by the Gods with an amazing best friend to do it with.

Why dream and hope for change when you can BE the change? 

    You know that little bit we're all taught as children that not many really listen to cuz it sounds cheesy as fuck? At the end of the day, we're just two dudes fr. Now that I'm taking this big step, I kinda get it. I kinda get a lot of the bullshit inspirational quotes that make you wanna gouge your ears out every time you hear them. Unfortunately for me, I understand. I mean, they could come up with better ways to be inspirational that don't make listeners wanna cringe into oblivion. Hell, maybe I'll write some fucked ones of my own.

    Case and point: Why waste around bitching and moaning when I could be doing something about it (while bitching and moaning about doing it). I'm not gonna lie. One thing Imma always do is bitch and moan. But, at least now, I'll be productive about it. That's besides the point. 

    My friends, things are looking up and the sky is the limit and all that cheesy shit.

TTYL,

Your introspective bitch with big big dreams
