Hello, hello! I am going to spare all of you from the long list of excuses I could rattle off about me not updating this page anymore, I think I've done enough of that. However, I will give you a small update about what's been happening and what's to come in the future.
Back in March I was laid off from my job of over four years due to Covid. My job wasn't anything crazy, just a typical customer service job but it was very comfortable for me and the place I met most of my friends after moving across the country by myself almost 5 years ago. I had wanted to leave for awhile, mostly just wanted something that was more financially stable or just a change of scenery. The job was very monotonous and I had been pretty burned out for awhile before all of this happened. But with everything happening so fast it kind of knocked me off my feet. I've come to terms with most of it by now and am trying to see it all as a new chapter and a chance for new opportunities.
I've thought a lot since then about starting to blog again and I really, really wanted to. It seemed like the perfect time to focus on something I used to enjoy so much to distract me from what was going on in the world. But things just seemed to start getting harder and harder and my motivation took a nosedive while my stress, on the other hand, was at an all time high.
At this point in time, I'm still not completely sure what my next step is. I've been kind of taking everything one day at a time, which I know a lot of people are right now too. It's really all we can do sometimes.
I've been taking a lot of this time to try to focus on things I want to change and improve but at the same time trying to be gentle with myself about how I'm feeling and how I want to move forward. This year hasn't been easy for anyone and who really knows if things will improve anytime soon, however I don't want to not pursue things I enjoy doing or things that distract me from the negatives that surround us all right now.
With all of that being said, I've decided I am going to finally commit to some sort of a schedule so that I can start using this blog again like I've been wanting to for years. I really regret not keeping up with it once I moved, I always meant to but it kind of got pushed aside.
Everything might be a bit rough for a bit, I'm not going to lie. A big part of why I haven't returned for so long is trying to figure out how to combine all of my interests onto this page. I have so many things I want to talk about and do and it's hard for me to stick to one theme. Somedays I want to talk about makeup and skincare, other days I want to talk about horror movies and video games, or crafts, traveling, mental health, cooking, etc. But I'm looking forward to trying my best to make things work while making it interesting and fun for you and me!
I don't want to outrightly promise any certain days posts will be up, but I will be posting once a week for now! I'm aiming for twice a week, maybe Tuesdays and Fridays? But I'm sure it'll take me a bit to get into a routine again after so long and I don't want to make any more empty promises, but I do promise I will be updating this blog more regularly from now on. Truly thank you to all of the people who have stuck around, it means a lot and I'm hoping I get to chat with all of you soon!
I hope all of you are staying safe and focusing on the positives in life right now. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, you'll hear from me soon! :)
