I Did It Again....For The Millionth Time

Well, wuddyaknow, I did it again that I abandoned my blog.

Like most people I go through what I call "social media phases" much like the phases of the moon.  I'll be super in to posting, and content, and liking and following, and stats, etc - then next thing you know I'm off the grid, social media annoys me, it gives me headaches, I have a "who cares" mentality.  Then BAM - I'm back to part one all over again. 

So tonight as I was moving around my parents house (I did a stay-cation in my hometown) I was thinking about how I wanted to share something on social media but not go through the rings and hoops of fire to get a good picture, but just post...the way blogging USED to be.

And then I remembered that I had this dormant blog.  So it took a little bit of time but I was able to log back in to it and here we are.

So with all of that being said - here are my revised intentions for this blog:

  • I will not feel "social media pressure."  That goes for all aspects : posting on a schedule, feeling the need to create content, comparing myself to others.
  • I don't have a "nitch" with this blog.  I'm not a "lifestyle," "fashion," "travel," anything blogger.  I'm not even going to go as far as say that I'm a blogger.  I'm just a gal with a blog. 
  • I'm going to post what I want, when I want.  If I feel like sharing an outfit, so be it.  If I feel like sharing my part of a conversation with someone, I will.  I'm not going to tight-rope this.

That's pretty much it!  I can't promise that I won't drop this blog again, but it's worth (another) shot.  Once upon a time blogging wasn't about posing in front of colorful walls or murals (not that I WON'T ever do that, because believe me, I will), or not wearing the same outfit twice, or promoting spending money on the next "it" thing.  It used to be about sharing and finding a community.  And that's what I'm going to try to re-embrace.

So here we go again!  Round 100000000.
