Here we go again! I kept the blog going a bit longer in 2024 than I had in 2023, so I’m happy about that, but I’m still disappointed that I wasn’t able to keep it running all year long.
This year, I am introducing essays to my blog. Although I’m constantly reading, listening to albums, and watching movies, I don’t always feel compelled to write a review for everything I consume. At some point, it becomes a chore instead of something I enjoy doing. I want to start also sharing personal essays to help keep me inspired and to shake things up. I hope this will help me in my efforts to publish a post weekly. I did write some essays last year, but I’ve mostly been keeping them to myself in my phone’s notes app or in my physical notebooks. I’m excited to get back to my Tumblr days and share my thoughts about anything and everything!
I must confess that I’m really not feeling my best as this new year is starting out. For some time now, I have felt unmotivated to do much. When I finished my workdays last year, I basically just ended up doom scrolling away my free time. Ever since graduating college and moving to a new city, I have been focusing on getting my career going, getting a car, a house, and creating a community for myself. Now I have a job I love, my dream car, a house, an adorable dog, and my wonderful friends and family. I am grateful for all of this, but I’m still not feeling completely fulfilled. I don’t really have a big goal I am striving for anymore. I long to have a husband and children to take care of, but I know these things come at the right time, so this is a season in my life for me to focus on myself. Part of that includes working on my self-development, self-care, mental health, exploring my interests, and continuing to express myself with the help of this blog.
I’m excited to keep learning and growing. I have a great community in the real world, but I’m looking forward to creating an online community as well.
Thank you for reading!
