Grateful but not completely happy…

I just found out I won another Picky event, and honestly — I have mixed emotions. I’m really thankful for the recognition and I love being part of the Picky community. Every event I join teaches me something and helps me grow. But at the same time, I can’t help but feel a little down… because I still haven’t won any actual brand PR kit collaborations yet. 🥲 I see so many amazing creators getting PR boxes, and I’m genuinely happy for them — but there’s this small part of me that wonders, “When will it be my turn?” It’s a weird mix of gratitude and longing. I’m proud of how far I’ve come, but I also dream of that first real PR collab — not just for the product, but for the recognition of my effort and consistency. Has anyone else felt this way before? How did you keep your motivation and stay inspired while waiting for your first collab? 💭💜 --- #PickyCommunity #PickyCreators #MyPickyJourney #PickyDiscussion #ContentCreatorLife #CreatorRealTalk #SkincareCommunity #PickyTrainee #RealTalk
