So my lovely readers it has been officially over a month since I last blogged! I think this must be one of the longest blogging breaks I have had, but boy did I need it. I wasn't completely outta the blogging scene, I mean I still went to events, still organised the #fblchat and all things FBL and I still read and commented on blogs. I just didn't put my fingers to keys, and well upload a post...
Anywho, during my hiatus, I came to the conclusion that I had really neglected the real reason I started blogging. In 2011 this blog was started as a creative outlet, and in some way during the 3 years, I can say I lost the true reason I blogged. I got caught up in the competition and being the best, that at times I just didn't blog for me. So from now on, I truly blog because I want to. When I put a post out I'll promote it, obviously,but I won't obsess about how many likes or views it gets.. I'll just let it go and well go on with the rest of my life ya know!
Now what have I been doing since I have been outta the blogging scene? well if you follow me on instagram you'll know:
- I have just been enjoying life tbh and connecting with my friends.
- Ohh my big sis also competed on the jumpoff. She won one battle, but sadly lost her title. But I am super proud as she was the first female producer for ages! Check out her stuff here: Beatnik8 souncloud & YouTube.
- I am also officially a working gal now! I work in social media and blogger outreach as part of my role! Which is pretty fitting since I am a blogger. It is cool, but hard work though! I'll write more about this in a separate post, since I COMPLETED ONE OF MY 2014 GOALS.
That is about it tbh. My brain just needed a re-boot! I am currently editing my second YouTube video, but my editing program is being très difficult. So I'll get it out ...eventually. I am also going to take up another hobby, I am thinking dance as I did a little back at uni and I love to dance.. so hopefully that will make me feel more creative? I dunno I am just happy I am back to doing what feels natural and I am so glad that I have so many supportive readers. I read all your comments back on my "Am I my blogging bug?" post and it also helped me get back into blogging.
I am rambling! Thank you and enjoy the bank holiday weekend!
What lipstick are you wearing? It's a lovely shade X

Welcome back! I feel the same as you do about starting to obsess over views and readers and comments, the blogging world is becoming very competitive and I think all bloggers need to go back and remember why they started blogging :) It makes for a happier blogger :) I'd love to read more about your job and how you got it!? Pretty please do a post on it :) xxx

Glad you're back, you look beautiful in that picture by the way!
ReplyDeleteI totally get where you're coming from. It's so easy to lose sight of why we start blogging once we've been doing it for a while that alot of times taking a step away from it for a while is really what we need. Glad you're back & had a good hiatus just living life. :)
I'm happy I've found your blog I'm following you now & can't wait to see more. Keep in touch!
