🥀 When It Feels Like You’re Wasting Your Time

There are days when I feel like I’m shouting into the void.
Like everything I’ve built—every post, every download, every ounce of heart I’ve poured into this—could just disappear and no one would notice.

Some days, it feels like defeat.
Other days? Like flat-out sabotage.
The kind of setback that makes you question whether you’re being foolish for trying at all.

And maybe you’ve felt that too.
Maybe you’ve wondered if it’s worth it—if the fight to be seen, to be heard, to matter in a sea of noise is just a losing game.

I’ve had moments lately that made me want to pull the plug.
To shut it all down and walk away.
To believe the lie that it’s just not working, that I’m not reaching anyone, that the effort is wasted.

But here I am.
Not because I feel powerful.
Not because I have it all figured out.
But because I still believe that someone out there needs to know they’re not alone in feeling like this.

This isn’t a polished “comeback” post.
This is a whispered truth from a woman who’s pulling herself up by the bootstraps—again—because giving up isn’t actually in my DNA.

So if you’re feeling it too—deflated, defeated, or just done—stay.
Stay one more day.
Say one more thing.
Post one more truth.

Because maybe that’s the moment something shifts.
And if not? At least we’re still standing.

Together.

Dorey Duncan Scott Senior Litigation Paralegal

Hi! I’m Dorey Duncan Scott, a mother of three, wife and fashion entrepreneur. I started my career in fashion back in the early 90’s when I did print, still and runway modeling. I studied Fashion Merchandising, Music Business and Marketing, while also obtaining certificates in such industry-necessary areas such as make-up, styling and runway choreography. In addition, I had work as a spokesmodel for several brands, appearing in print and in person. As a former model, turned senior litigation paralegal, artist manager and on-air personality with a passion for fashion, beauty, and personal development, I bring a unique combination of style, strategic thinking, and legal expertise to my work. My years navigating the legal world have sharpened my attention to detail, while my experience and passion for fashion, beauty, and personal development drives my desire to help others feel empowered and help them in their journey toward self-empowerment. My experience in the fashion world has taught me the power of confidence.
