We caught up with the brilliant and insightful L.k.p a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, L.k.p thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Do you wish you had started sooner?

What’s crazy is that I have been making content since I was in middle school. Life is always revealing why things happen when they do. All the mishaps, experiences, and relationships that I have had leading up to today, was meant to happen on its own time – never on mine. Me starting content so young gives the energy, “If I had known houses were going to be so expensive, I would’ve started saving when I was kindergarten.” Everything happens as it’s meant to, so in a way, it’s all perfect timing.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

I am a writer and content creator on social media! I write lines for people to use in their dating lives, specifically women, and I also give life advice to those who want a unique perspective on their problems. I find in dating; we are so conditioned to say the same responses because people come in and out of our lives – like a revolving door. I find that to keep interactions and conversations interesting, the topics, questions, and text messages need to have an element of differentiation from what we’re used to always hearing – that’s where I come in.

I write alternative phrases than the standard, “Good morning!” and “How are you?”

For example, “Saying hello to keep your morning company.” Or, if they ghost and come back, “I was enjoying your silence. This interruption is ruining it.”

I am most proud of my ability to connect and flirt with anybody too – it’s what keeps me on my toes while I share what works and doesn’t work with my audience. However, the most important aspect of my content is understanding that I am not a dating coach. I’m just a writer that loves to talk about love. It’s why I understand romance so deeply and create sentences for those that want to enrich their personal and dating lives.

Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?

I had to pivot shortly after starting my poetry account. Initially, I focused solely on poetry and that’s what I consistently created. One of my most popular poems, which I titled “Opposites Attract,” went viral on TikTok. That success felt like a confirmation from the universe that poetry was truly my calling. Over time, the pressure to produce new poems daily became overwhelming and lead to so many burnouts.

To navigate through that, I shifted my focus to other creative outlets like voice acting, scriptwriting, and writing my poetry book, “The Profundity of Love.” Since my poetry often revolved around themes of love, I began incorporating poetic elements into lines for everyday use and my content started to blow up again on social media. As I transitioned into dating-themed content, I integrated my own dating stories and advice segments directly from my audience. Pivoting allowed me to explore new creative avenues while retaining the essence of what initially drew people to my content.

Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?

“Everyone gives a f*ck and DON’T take breaks!”

That mindset is BS. I strongly believe in taking breaks, especially when dealing with social media. I recall earlier in my social media journey; I reached a serious breaking point. I felt overwhelmed and decided to delete all my social media accounts – going dark for about half a year. Relieving myself from my own expectations was freeing like you wouldn’t believe.

After quite some time, I felt the urge to start posting again, but I made sure to remove every influence that triggered comparisons or made me feel inadequate. When I resumed my social media presence more seriously, I stopped believing I had to post every single day just to remain sane – nothing is worth sacrificing your peace, and I live by that now.

I started encouraging myself to take breaks when needed and focus on being constant than consistent. Even if it’s posting every other day, I find that it’s been more effective than pushing out content daily and risking losing the passion to post. Take my YouTube channel for example! I used to post Shorts daily or every other day for two years. It wasn’t until I took breaks and returned with fresh energy that my channel started gaining traction THIS year. If you pause but never quit, what you want will always be waiting for you too.
