Hi everyone...*awkwardly waves*
I have been MIA for a longgg time... like a month?! That is the longest time I have ever gone without blogging and it doesn't feel good :( But I felt like I had to put something out, as I love this little blog and I feel like I have neglected it :( (sorry blog)
As much as I love blogging, I feel like it is a lot of pressure to take 'perfect' pictures and write amazing posts that everyone loves and post all of the time. For me at the moment, it just isn't realistic as I have a LOT going on in my life. I won't go into any unnecessary, boring detail, but I have a bunch of exams, and I get extremely stressed. I basically turn into a different person when I am stressed, haha :)
Right now I am trying to focus on being happy.
I absolutely adore blogging and I am definitely not going anywhere, it's just sometimes I find it really difficult. There are weeks when I am completely 'on schedule', and post consistently, and then there are weeks when I don't post at all and feel like a horrible person for it. I feel like sometimes when I have a schedule, blogging becomes like a chore and that is when I lose motivation. For me, blogging should always be something I love. I think it's obvious when the blogger feels forced, and it's not nice.
During the summer when I have finished school I will start posting consistently again, as it is what I love to do, and I can't wait!
I have been posting YouTube videos every single week! I love having a channel so much. I started this blog over a year ago and I never would've thought that I would be posting YouTube videos. Sooo yeaaaa...things change! I started writing about cute things I enjoy, and that is what I still hope to do on this blog.
This post is a little thrown together and I'm not too sure what I'm trying to say... I guess just hi, I am still here and I still love this whole thing :)

Sorry things have been so hectic! Schedules aren't for everyone and some bloggers prefer to just blog when they feel like it, while others like to stick to a schedule. Motivation for blogging can come and go, I do have a post on how to over come some blog slmps if you fancy reading it: http://www.skinnedcartree.com/2014/05/5-reasons-blog-slumps-how-overcome.html also I have a post on blog photos coming out tomorrow, which you might find helpful.
ReplyDeleteGood luck in your exams and hope you find your blog mojo again soon!
