23 Things I’ve Learned in 23 Days of Showing Up For Myself
By Queenee Da Kritic
For the past 23 days, I’ve been on a mission to hit 10K followers—but more than that, I’ve been on a mission to show up for me. This challenge has been uncomfortable, healing, eye-opening, and honestly… the first time in a long time that I’ve been consistent for myself and not for anyone else.
Here are 23 real things I’ve learned during these 23 days:
Consistency is a muscle. The more I use it, the less resistance I feel.
Planning saves my mental health. When I follow a strategy, I don’t spiral.
Staying in my lane brings peace. Comparison steals my energy every time.
My voice is enough. I don’t need to be louder—I just need to be true.
Healing my inner child shows up in my creativity. She finally feels safe to play and be around others.
Healing my teenage self reminds me I deserve to be seen. Not hidden. Not quiet. Not in a corner.
Posting what makes me feel good hits harder than trying to impress people.
My people find me when I’m myself. Not the polished version—me.
Resilience isn’t pretty. Some days I film through tears or anxiety, and I still show up.
ADHD doesn’t mean I can’t be consistent. It means I need structure—and when I give myself that, I thrive.
Depression and grief don’t disqualify me. They remind me I’m human. It’s ok to be perfectly imperfect.
I can make great content even on low-energy days. Showing up counts.
I don’t need the perfect setup. The value is in the message, not the background.
My audience responds most when I’m educating from the heart. Especially about dabbing, terps, and pain.
I’m allowed to pivot. If something isn’t working, I can change it.
The Queenee brand grows when I show up for myself. My healing is my content.
I’m capable of showing up even when my emotions feel heavy.
Not every reel needs to blow up. Some posts are seeds, not the finished product.
Speaking to “my women,” my community, my “Endo Sisters” voice—this is what creates connection.
My worth isn’t tied to numbers. I’m building a foundation, not chasing a viral moment.
Every time I choose myself, it reflects in my content.
I’m not doing this for validation. I’m doing it to build a life and platform for my future. I’m building generational wealth and starting at 47.
I’m proud of myself—truly. 23 days in, and I’m finally seeing the version of me I always knew existed.
If you’re reading this, thank you for supporting my journey.
I’m not perfect, but I’m consistent. And that’s what’s moving mountains for me right now.
Crown up, mi gente. We’re only getting started. 👑
