Hello. Again.
If you're reading this now, I applaud you. I've been away from blogging (and social media) for nearly two months now and the fact that you're reading this now gives me a fuzzy feeling so here's a virtual hug! I don't have any excuse other than life got hard. Like really hard. It mainly had to do with my job (I want to tell why as well but that's a story for another day) and some personal issues. But while I wasn't writing, I felt as though I shut away the best part of myself. I love writing and the euphoric feeling it brings me. It was the best form of therapy until even that didn't work good for me. I began putting so much stress on myself on perfecting this blog that I forgot how much I enjoy connecting with you and the feeling of writing out my thoughts. I lost sight of what was important and prioritized the wrong things. I put myself in a tiny little box and only thought I could write about make-up, beauty, and fashion. Yes, that's what this blog is about but I realized that I want to write about so many other topics like travel, impactful experiences, etc. I wanted to give you so much more but didn't think it would fit my "niche".
I found out the hard way that it honestly hurts our soul if we neglect it from our favorite joys. I never stopped writing but just continued with this project I started earlier this year (my goal is to finish by summertime!) but it's not the same as writing in a blog, as weird as that sounds. I don't think I can even describe the difference.
I woke up one day with the realization that what I was doing was not at all what I wanted. This is not what I want from my life and began dreaming of how my life will turn out. Life isn't meant to just wait around and dilly dally around but to pursue your heart's desire, to fuel your passion, and to live with intention. It's the scariest adventure but is absolutely exhilarating. This short but sweet quote describes perfectly how I choose to live my life:
With my new mindset, I've deleted the blog from Wordpress and have renovated this blog and spruced it up. I've changed completely (in a good way) and so should my blog, right?
This is a short post explaining where I've been. I'm going to have regular posts and more will be coming this week so stay tuned. :-)
I want to say again how much I appreciate you and being patient with this blog. You're the real MVP.
xo,
H.
