Ok, I really need to
stop starting blog posts with HEY LONG TIME NO SPEAK but hey long
time no speak? I really have sucked at this whole blogging thing over
the last year and if anyone is still reading this then the biggest
thank you goes to you.
Last week my blog
turned 8, eight flippin' years. I was at university when I started
this blog and next year it'll be 10 years since I started that
degree. Seriously where does the time go? This blog has grown with
me. It's documented said degree, relationships, friendships,
adventures, happy and sad times, life goals, a whole load of shopping
trips and so many amazing opportunities I wouldn't even know where to
start sharing them. I am very lucky and fortunate that's for sure!
But 2017 was a year I
really struggled with my blog. I've mentioned this before, but over
the past couple of years I've very much felt like a little fish in a
big pond. I can't compete with the big influencers. I don't have the
look nor the niche nor the big ideas to catapult me. I guess I felt
like I really didn't bring anything to the table so what was the
point? I'd put that much pressure on myself that it was just daunting
even the idea of opening my laptop so I buried my head in the sand
and ignored it and my inbox (not to self: don't do that again). So at
the start of the year I asked on Twitter whether to carry on blogging
or not and the response was overwhelming, the tweets and emails I
received made my heart swell. 89% of you said to keep this going and
well, that's enough for me.
2017 wasn't a great
year for me professionally either, I went from a really amazing job
to try and progress my career to being made redundant within 3
months. If it didn't make me sound really unprofessional I'd do a
whole blog post on the disgusting (very well known UK brand) which
treated me appallingly. For 4 months I struggled with my identity and
what I wanted to do with my life. But since then I'm now doing a
completely different job with a really big opportunity to progress
which is amazing. It's also in my local town so no more hour commutes
up and down the M1 5 days a week.. hurrah!
So I've decided this
year to focus on myself. I don't know if turning 30 next year has
anything to do with it, but I feel very much like this is going to be
my year (hello cliché) and I need to to continue to be happy in my
life and on my blog. I will write I want, when I want, without any
pressure on myself or pressure to create incredible content.
Sometimes I find the unplanned and raw posts actually make the best
posts to read so that's my focus. I basically need to care less in a
lot of areas of my life. Although I'll still be dipping in to beauty
and fashion (my eBay posts will be staying) I want to do a lot of
random posts too. As a soon to be 29 year old woman, I feel like I
have a life posts to share and maybe take this blog in another
direction, I'm not a 21 uni student any more, man those days are long
gone. I feel like old school blogging is going to make a comeback too
and I am SO ready for that...
