Lily has been flying by the seat of her pants for years and years now. The panic she is going through now is the chickens coming home to roost of no strategy, no structure, no planning from one day/week to the next.
It occurred to me recently that the privilege of her background has enabled her to always wait to feel creative. When you are wealthy and privileged and you haven’t felt creative this week, you can always fall back on a lazy video about what mummy brought you back from the French pharmacy near the second home in Antibes darling, it will still do numbers and you can think up a proper video next week when you feel like it
Whereas the rest of us in creative roles (and less privileged influencers) don’t have that luxury and learn during our 20s to show up even (especially) when you’re not feeling inspired. You can’t wait for it to strike.
So now she has no professional or personal discipline and it’s biting her in the bum.
** When I say creative I mean creative
for Lily of course - eg figuring out how she can rip off ideas from cooler people like heyclaire.
