A Side Business and Social Media Stress – Silence Doesn’t Mean Indifference

 

I’m a part-time entrepreneur. I create digital prints out of passion, not just as a business. It’s that moment when I get to dive into creativity and forget everything else for a while. But honestly – balancing a full-time job, everyday life, and entrepreneurship sometimes takes up all my time and energy.

People might wonder why I’m not more active on social media. Why there aren’t new posts, or why I don’t reply right away. The truth is simple: I’m not indifferent, I’m just busy.

Social media doesn’t tell the whole story

These days it can feel like if you’re not visible online, you don’t exist. But as a side entrepreneur, I know that silence on social media doesn’t mean inactivity. Quite the opposite – it often means I’m working behind the scenes: designing new prints, refining files for my online shop, and developing my own creative style.

Entrepreneurship, for me, isn’t just about marketing – it’s about creating. And while social media is important for visibility, I don’t want it to take away the joy of why I started in the first place – the joy of making art.

Being busy doesn’t mean losing passion

I’m proud that I can do both: my day job and my business. It takes planning, flexibility, and sometimes a lot of self-compassion. There are moments when inspiration takes over, and moments when schedules do. But both are part of the journey.

So if it ever seems like I’ve disappeared from social media, it’s only because I’m focusing on what I love most – creating and developing new digital products.

In the end

I might not always respond right away or post regularly, but every comment, like, and order means the world to me. They remind me that even when I’m busy, what I do matters.

Silence doesn’t mean indifference – it means I’m hard at work, doing what I love.
