on burnouts and boredom

So I've been pretty busy lately and I keep postponing writing posts until the last possible moment. 

Which has got me feeling like the whole purpose of this is starting to change.

Having a blog wasn't supposed to be something that I would have to plan, or worry about, or any of that. 

It was supposed to be for fun, a little internet journal that I shared with people. 

And while it's cool to think about blogging professionally and maybe someday as a source of income...that's not what I want to focus on right now.

I don't want blogging to lose its sparkle. It kind of happened with my small business this winter. 

I was doing really well. I was super excited about started a website and expanding my products...and at first, I loved it. 

The problem was that I had made it part of my projects for school. It became like something I had to do, because I had committed to it, and put so much effort and time into it. I made myself feel like it was something I had to do. 

The sad truth is, I got burned out.

It got tiring.

I got bored.

It just wasn't fun anymore.

And I think another reason why, is because I was so focused on growing my account, and starting a website, and having thousands of followers, and creating content people would like and save and making my products Pinterest-worthy and all that stupid stuff.

And it wasn't even about me and my dream anymore.

I'm just scared of that happening again. With the blog.

So! In conclusion, I'm not going to schedule when I post, or try to write stuff people will enjoy. Because I'm not that kind of person. 

Not to throw shade at people who are great at their niche and creating content that people love. I think it's a skill, and it's one I haven't yet learned.

This is supposed to be for ME, and whoever decides to go out of their way to read these dumb things. 

That is, if anyone does. 

That's all. I hope you're doing okay and I'll see u next time. :)

stayyyy cool ofc
