But the part that's kind of more personal, that part I'm still struggling with, because I don't really want people to know everything about me.

People tend to get the wrong idea because they only see the good stuff but it's just my work. I'm trying to portray only the good stuff and what I think is going to be inspiring. I have a personal Instagram where my friends follow me.
