I Reached 10,000 Youtube Subscribers And It’s Underwhelming

For some reason, I thought this would be a cool milestone to hit

Really, I’m not jaded at all.

I love writing content online, and I love creating content online. And I’ve been working hard at growing my Youtube channel, Elna Writes.

So, when I noticed my channel was at 9.6k and then 9.9k subscribers, I started to get excited.

Finally, double digits! Yes!

I emailed my list and told them I was almost at 10k, and they helped me reach it! Thanks so much to everyone who read my email and helped me reach this milestone.

But for some reason, it’s not all that it’s cracked up to be.

This Came at a Horrible Time in My Life

This past week has been the MOST stressful and worst week of my life.

And I have no control over it. To not delve into my family life, my twins have been perpetually sick — all month — and I suspect next month. It’s horrible. It’s like we are BAD parents. The school board even called us wondering why the absences were. OMG!!

My in-laws are bullying us to “just give them a cough drop and send them to school.”

As if….

I don’t know why my twins are getting sick. My son was in the NICU when he was born, and we kept them home for two years during the pandemic because he would get chest colds and walking pneumonia. But, as soon as they got back to school, within two weeks, sick, sick…this was in February.

It wears me down as a stay-at-home mom, and I lose all creativity. Everything stops in my life and my business.

And, of course, when it rains, it pours. Even more shitty stuff happened that week.

Once My Channel Hit 10k…it Just Stopped at 10k

Not to sound boastful or anything, but typically, my channel numbers go up every five days or so.

But once I hit 10k, it just seemed to stay there.

Not seeing it go to 10.1k and 10.2k, made me feel like this milestone was nothing, really.

Man, even writing this is depressing!!!!!

I Know There is Light at the End of This

I know things will get better temporarily.

Next week the twins have soccer, and my daughter has been signed up for gymnastics all month but only attended once due to sickness.

Next week we are also getting new windows, which means re-arranging everything, so finding a place to work may be tricky.

I pray we get past this and life goes back to normal.

I’m working in the backend of my business and have cool ideas that I can’t wait to solidify and make public!

I’m truly thankful for achieving 10k subs, really I am. It’s a work in progress and I can’t wait to film more videos to help you start a freelance life!

I know I’ll look at this time and realize how amazing this milestone is but in the present, it’s a bit underwhelming compared to what my week has been.

Here’s to a new week and healthy twins.
