Chapter 9: The Social Media Maze-Don't Let It Fuck With Your Head

"Social media can mess with your mind if you let it. It breeds comparison, insecurity, and the need for constant validation. But here’s the truth: it’s just a tool, not the whole game. Social media is great for promotion and building your brand, but it can’t be your sole measure of success. The number of likes or followers you have doesn’t define your worth. Focus on what matters—your art, message, and the real fans who genuinely support you.
Forget the pressure to be perfect. Social media is a highlight reel, but perfection is a trap. People connect with authenticity, not a fake, curated life. Be raw, real, and vulnerable. That’s how you build meaningful connections with your audience.
Remember, the hustle is real, but so is mental health. Social media can drain you, so take breaks when needed. Your peace of mind is more important than chasing numbers. Use social media wisely to connect and promote, but don’t let it consume you. Stay authentic, protect your mental health, and keep your focus on the bigger picture."
