I am new to this sharing lifestyle. I'm growing an audience on TikTok and getting dangerously close to becoming a #fishtok influencer (by accident, sort of.) I am having a great time sharing parts of my life (and the popular Nemo fish tank), but this is just one small part of my life and I want to share more. I want to continue to gain followers and do more than just share my hobbies. I want to share my life.
Scott has been obsessed with anything ChatGPT and AI lately, so it sparked my interest. If you haven't tried it yet, you should. It's fascinating. I decided I wanted to ask the machine how to grow a quality fan base on TikTok without a niche.
After first asking the AI how to be like Elyse Myers, I felt a little embarrassed at my natural instinct to mimic those I admire instead of being myself. I don't want to copy anyone, be like anyone else, or give up any of my autonomy.
Next, I asked the AI robot how to be my authentic self on TikTok. Realizing that my ultimate goal is to be transparent, I knew I couldn't do that if I was trying to be anything but true to my true inner-self. But even the concepts from the AI felt unattainably human to me.
Note: I do recognize the irony in asking artificial intelligence how to relate to humans, but I figure if anyone understands, it's a robot.
We don't know how to human. I say we because there's me. Hi. I'm the one writing. And then there's Kelly that exists on live feeds and IRL.
There are two personas, one person. And it's not because I'm trying to be two different people. I just feel masked in social settings. But not to fit in. It’s more like a survival skill.
I do the song and dance (not literally, because no one wants to see that) of human interaction and I never fully express my true thoughts because in order to do so I have to write them down. I can’t seem to be heard when I’m using my real voice. I have never cared about fitting in but I’ve always strived to have the ability to affect people with my words. Or something….
So I guess I'm going to try a different approach. I’m going to document my life here. I’m not perfecting it. I’ll share when and where I can and try to find new and exciting ways to share these parts of my life. This blog will be fluid. You might see posts change over time. That’s because I’ll be perfecting each essay over time. Protecting the words, my thoughts, and my story.
By sharing drafts, TikTok’s, and other social content during the editing process I’m inviting you all to be here with me. Write back. Engage. Maybe you’ll end up in my book someday. ✌🏼
On that note...
