I Already Said This (And I'll Say It Again)

Whenever I'm in the mood to film TikToks, the same thought stops me: "Wait, didn't I already film something about this?"

I have twenty videos behind me. Surely I've already said this somewhere?

Probably. And it doesn't matter.

At the start, I thought about this constantly. Every new idea got filtered through this lens of "is this too similar to that other video?" It slowed me down. I'd catch myself overthinking before I even let the idea fully form.

Then I realized something. The situations are different. The stories are different. Even when the principle is the same, the angle shifts. The emotion changes. The way I'd wrap it changes.

When the same topic comes back to me but slightly different—wrapped in a new story, felt with different energy—that's exactly why it's worth saying again.

People repeat themselves. That's normal. That's how humans work.

Now my filter is simpler: does it resonate right now? Am I brave enough to say it? That's it.

If an idea shows up again, in a new form, with new feeling—I say it. I say it again.
