ive been dreaming about doing this for a year, i love fashion design and im finally understanding how to sew and would love to begin planning how to turn this passion into a business that makes me enough money to live comfortably.

that said, does anyone have advice on the feasibility of making this dream a reality? a few things

1. low social media presence, and adverse editing and all that jazz but i do have the skills as I work in communications

2. i have a pretty unique style and that’s been confirmed online when i do post or from my loved ones and strangers

3. i work full time and would have to work while I built this up (no nepo funds or anything like that)

4. i would like to upcycle vintage pieces while also creating new quality one of a kind long lasting pieces that make women feel beautiful and confident

ik there’s a crap ton of competition and ive never had a business before and i dont really want to drown in a market that may feel like screaming into a void (maybe ive only been reading horror stories) BUT i really want to do this and just wanna know if im better off enjoying this as my hobby or if theres a decent shot of this making me a living and i get to make beautiful things for the most beautiful ppl on the planet (women!)! all feedback is super appreciated:’)

but i think it’s happening now. i have also dated nonchalant men and can tell nonchalant energy. the guy ive been talking to for like a month and seen twice was coming on SUPER strong. i usually don’t entertain that kind of entrance but it seemed genuine and I think i like him cuz i never talk to a guy this much. from big compliments, to affection, to flowers etc he alluded to being together pretty quickly.

the last few days have been a total opposite. it’s coming up on my nonchalant radar and i realllly hate dealing w men w no energy. i hate wasting my time or talking to someone when i don’t rly have hopes or trust in the situation. should i end it since flags are coming up? i just can’t tell if it’s my hastiness to not waste my time or real flags that make me just wanna message him goodbye. maybe i don’t wanna be dumped first even. reality is idk this dude it’s only been a month, but i asked myself if this flips tomorrow which decision would i be happy i took and i can’t tell which:( i like him- well i did when he shared more then again he’s just a man and who CARES?? ugh! help
