The last time I posted on social media or this website was quite a while ago, and even then, it was hard to bring myself to do the work of putting it together, and actually sharing the post was even harder. I haven’t felt very “successful” in my creativity, in a way. My art has stopped at the messy stage, rarely getting refined or posted as-is, and I haven’t made much crochet worth sharing.

But that’s the issue right there: it doesn’t seem worth sharing. What do I mean by that? I’m setting a standard for myself that I’m unable to reach; I’m saying it needs to be X amount of impressive before I can post it.

I think the issue came about because this website isn’t just my personal blog anymore. It’s now a professional website. With that title comes a whole slew of expectations, placed upon myself, to appear as put-together as possible.

But that’s not really what the blog section is supposed to be. This is a personal blog. I write in first person, from my experiences, to share my personal thoughts and feelings. That’s what this is supposed to be. The rest of the website is for all that professional stuff.

So, I’d like to change the vibe of this blog and make it feel more comfortable for me to write on. I’m not sure if that means changing the aesthetic with colours, fonts, and backgrounds, or if it means something else. I still have to figure out what will make it easier to get posts published. But whatever it is, look forward to new posts coming soon!
