Tis the season…TO GET TOTALLY STRESSED OUT. With the holidays and new changes in my life, I have been definitely overwhelmed. That constant feeling of trying to get everything done and do it well is a lot of pressure. One thing that has been weighing heavy on my mind is this new blogging experience of mine. It has been so exciting, but it’s a lot of pressure. Now I put this pressure on myself for sure, but it’s so easy to compare myself to everyone else. “Oh, her picture is so much better.” “Her captions are funnier” “She is so much more engaged with her audience” I might add, I’m comparing myself to girls who have been blogging for years and who do it full time. (WHY RANIA) I had to cut myself some slack! I’ve said that I live by this quote and I really mean it, “Comparison is the thief of joy” I look up to all these beautiful bloggers for a reason. They are dedicated and passionate about their work. Which means it took them time and they were kind to themselves in the process. Just because I am not where they are, does not mean my content isn’t good!
I took a slight break from posting because I felt like I was doing it just to post. There was no love behind it and as cheesy as it sounds love is a really important part to a post. I am so happy with this journey in my life and I know it’s not all sunshine and flowers the whole time, but I know I want to keep pushing to see how far this will get me.
Anyways I really appreciate you all listening to my rant of a blog post. It was just one of those weeks where I had to let my thoughts out {lol!} That being said, I truly hope that you all are enjoying your holiday season and traditions. I know this can be a stressful time for all of us (whether we celebrate the holidays or not!) but we all should take the time to sit back and enjoy the season. It is a time to be with our loved ones and be grateful for the life we have. I wish you and your family a very happy holiday season!
