Part 1:
I’ve always been late to the social media party when it comes to claiming my name. There’s another Adrienne Potts out there who, without fail, beat me to every handle.
So when I heard about a new “trending platform,” I quickly grabbed my handles, congratulated myself on being ahead for once, and promptly forgot all about it.

I’m driving my princess home after she called for a pickup, avoiding an uncomfortable situation with her friends. Proud mom moment—she trusted me.
As we’re chatting, she mentions that one of the moms involved might even have an OnlyFans account.
🗣️ Me: Oh, me too!
🗣️ Her: WHAT?!
🗣️ Me: I have an OnlyFans account too.
🗣️ Her: STOP SAYING THAT!
🗣️ Me: Why? What’s wrong?
🗣️ Her: It’s… MOM, it’s... you know. THAT kind of site.
Cue my full-body freeze. I’m driving, trying to process what "THAT kind of site" means, while her mortified expression tells me everything I need to know. Hell, at that point I'm mortified too!
I pull over, scrambling through a password reset and pure humiliation… account #1? Deleted.
Back on the highway, it hits me.
🗣️ Me: Wait… I think I made a second account.
🗣️ Her: OH. MY. GOD. MOM!
🗣️ Me: One for my screen name and one for my legal name. Ya know, cover the bases!
🗣️ Her: MOM, HOW DO YOU EVEN EXIST RIGHT NOW?!
I pull over again, delete the second account, and breathe a sigh of relief—though I'm sure my girl will never look at me the same again!💃
➡️The Root of the Chaos: Random Acts of Action
It wasn't just embarrassing—it was a mirror reflecting my missteps.
No purpose. No real intention. Just a desperate dash to “get ahead.”
And while funny in hindsight, it brought a sobering reminder:
“𝐃𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭.” -NH
Without clear aim, movement is mistaken for progress. Thoughtless decisions don’t create momentum—they create chaos. Without clarity, we lose focus and begin to drift off course.
It made me rethink my autopilot actions, arbitrary deadlines, and realize it was time for a purposeful pivot!
➡️ Have you ever mistaken movement for progress? Or was I the only one out here with two OnlyFans accounts and no purpose?⬇️
