Self made!
by Bryci on Jul.13, 2012, under General
I’ve been feeling 2 very strong feelings lately. Proud, and incredibly annoying/frusterated/passionate all mixed into 1. I just don’t know the one word for all 3 of those emotions mixed into one.. how about annusterate. Sure. Anyway, why? Well, proud because of what I’ve made with my website and my modeling. I just started out as some shy girl who didn’t know a damn thing about computers or websites or anything, and taught myself coding and graphic design (of course with the help of my wonderful webmaster James), and we’ve created my amazing website Bryci.com from day one, from scratch. Just us, a camera, and a computer. It’s always been just us, and it always will be. I will NEVER sell my site to anyone, or bring anyone else in to the mix. It’s my baby
I’m also proud that I’ve made all my modelling decisions to make ME happy, and no one else. I’ve had haters, I’ve had people who try to talk me out of this or that, or try to bring me down for whatever reason. And you know what? I’m still and always will be 100% happy with each decision I’ve made. Because I’ve done it for ME! Ultimately, I have to live my life 24/7, not anyone else, so why should I make decisions based on what someone else might think? Pfffffft that’s just silly
For all the haters, lovers, fans, or people trying to bring me down, please know that I am happy and I’m going to keep on keepin’ on
I’ve had people claim they are me. I’ve had people claim they are my webmaster, or they own my site. I’ve had fakers scam people out of money, and I’ve had people claim they know me or knew me in the past. Has it been annoying or frusterating? Yup. Has it ever made me want to quit? Nope. My website isn’t my job. My website has become my lifestyle. It’s just a part of me, a thing I do every day. I would do it for zero money (and did, for a few years before I opened my members side because I just amassed so much content), but need to pay bills and enjoy doing this full time. I love my site, my life, my fans and friends I’ve made through doing this. Get ready for granny porn because I’m not going anywhere!
hahahha ok ok, maybe I’ll transfer into full time photographer when my wrinkles get to be gnarly so to save your eyes from that. Hehehe
I’ve always said, do what you love. You spend most of your life working, so why would you do something you hate? For the money? Come on, what kind of life is that? We don’t know how short or long our life will be, so don’t spend time being doing something you don’t enjoy, no matter what it is. Love your life because it’s yours, you are the only one who can make you truly happy, and we only have this life (that we know of) so make it as rockstar as you can and want!
Pep talk over

Don’t give up! To be self made is the hardest thing. This post is inspiring and you have to be proud of yourself.
