I’ve had this blog for a year and yet I’ve only posted a handful
of times. It started off great, I was posting semi-regularly between September and
December but when the new year hit my blogging motivation seemed to cease to
exist. I just couldn’t get myself to open word or pick up my camera, I had zero
inspiration to write or take pictures and therefore I simply put it all to the
back of my mind.
Around July I got some fleeting ideas and even managed to post
something on the blog with other ideas floating around. It was summer, and I had
days out and other activities planned that I hoped I could create some blog
posts about. But alas, as soon as they came they were gone again, and I was
back to being in my slump.
When it came around to the one-year anniversary of my blog
and I still hadn’t managed to post any new content I simply chalked it up to
starting my 2nd year of university and therefore I wouldn’t have as
much time to plan anything or draw up ideas.
But today (in the shower of course, where all the best ideas
occur) I decided I needed a kick up the ass to get myself back in the blogging
game. I’d forgotten how much I’d enjoyed it when I first started and now I
really want to get myself back into that mindset. I started this blog as a creative
outlet, somewhere I could express myself through writing and photography and
share some of my passions with myself.
This time around I’m not going to put as much pressure on
myself as I did when I first started. I thought everything had to be perfect
the first time around and forgot that this whole thing is a journey and I’m going
to progress and grow along the way. I was constantly comparing myself to all
those blogs that had been around for ages, the one that looked gorgeous but
with brilliant content and beautiful photography that always looks incredibly professional.
I think it’s time to stop the comparisons, to just post about what I want and decided
for myself when I want to post it.
I’m not going to be scared anymore.
