I Thought I Couldn’t Fail Again. So I Quit… Then God Showed Me This.

This video is for all the creators who have shrunk away from their dreams and into their comfort zones! My whole DIY journey started because I was running from my own failure in my acting career. Perfectionism told me nothing I did was enough so I quit and started transforming my apartment into the most colorful & joyful home I could imagine. I tried to run from failure but it tracked me down every step of the way. Today I'm sharing my story of failing forward and I hope it encourages you to keep going no matter how long its been since you walked away from that big dream 💖

The title of the first episode in this series is inspired by To all the Boys I've Loved Before (To all the DIYs I've Loved Before) you can watch that here!    • Creatives, watch this before you give up ♥   and THIS episode is inspired by P.S. I Still Love You 🥰 I have been having so much fun creating these so I hope you enjoy them too!! 💖

A little bit about me 🤗 I'm Morgan Simone! I am a self taught furniture maker and creator and I have been sharing everything I have been dreaming up here on YouTube! I grew up surrounded by the arts- everything from acting, filmmaking, painting & drawing, screen printing, & pottery to fashion design, graphic design and photography. Now I'm using all that creativity to transform my studio into a space that sparks joy and creativity! I've learned so much along the way so I'm here to encourage you to keep going no matter how hard the journey gets! Whether you also want to make furniture and transform your space or if you're on a totally different creative path, I hope my channel encourages you to create even when you're scared of failing, even when you want to run back to your comfort zone. That's where the real growth happens! We were created to create! I hope my journey of failing forward and honoring God with all my creative gifts inspires you as you create everything you're dreaming up!

As always, keep dreamin y'all! -M 💖

DIYing is hard y'all! I am a new maker, learning as I go (as my fail montage showed 😂) Please complete the projects you see on my channel at your own risk and responsibility. Be safe & happy creating!
