Sometimes it’s hard to stay super positive on this little blog of mine.
It’s hard to read blogs by mommy bloggers, and pretty fashionistas [re: ladies who don't wear jeans 6 out of 7 days of the week], and women that are out there doing their passion for a living.
I’m so happy with my life where I’m at right now. I love having this time living close to my family and spending my weekends with Mitch sleeping in and reading. Really, though… all of these inspirational women out there have me BUGGIN’.
I love writing and this blog was my ‘for me’ activity, but I so badly want for it to be more. More interesting for my readers [all 3 of them haha] and more posts where I get real about life and what’s going on… not just sugar coating everything, more of me into every gosh darned entry. More standing out from the crowd of other bloggers who are only half in it.
Honestly, it’s a pretty simple time right now for me. Mitch & I aren’t engaged and I’m not a mommy. I barely have enough fashion sense to even say I have a ‘style’. haha. I wear what is comfy and what I think looks cool. I am not doing what I love for a living, though don’t get me wrong… I’m good at my job and I like that!! It’s just not the dream.
That elusive dream that’s out there somewhere.
That dream where I write for a living, working from home and turning my day to day life into a writing adventure. I’d love to sit at home all day and write short stories, blog entries, web articles. Spend my free time reading to expand my ideas and to continue growing as a writer.
For now I just have this blog. This tiny bit of freedom to write and feel and live via my own corner of the webisphere!
webisphere lol. being super positive is a great thing Sarah…you inspire me! hehe. and comfy and cool clothes are the best things to wear…it boost up my optimism too. great post.
Ugh. I wrote this awesome comment. Then wordpress decided it hated me and ate it. Boo to that.
I can’t even begin to be as awesome as I was with my first comment. So instead I’ll just tell you I love you.
Love you. Just keep working. Keep writing and keep reading. If writing professionally is the big dream then do it as often as possible. Treat is like and instrument that you must practice at EVERYDAY! It will get better and people will tune in! Maybe try filling your blog with more words rather than pictures as you continue forward. That’s what I try to do, since it is my writing that I am trying to get the most feedback from, rather than what I’m wearing or what recipes I’d like to attempt to try someday. And whatever you do, try not to compare yourself to other bloggers! Chances are they once felt the way you do now too, and they probably still do as they look at other bloggers that seem even greater and more glamorous than themselves. Just do your thang! No one else can do it better than you, and over time PEOPLE WILL COME AROUND! You’ve def got me at least
ew typos. Sorry!
I just wanted to let you know that even though you don’t think you’re a fashionista… I am always super jealous of your cute outfit posts. I wish I could wear what you get to wear to work. Instead, I have to wear big girl pants and big girl shoes, and seriously, all I want to wear to work are jeans, because dressing up gets old after a while, and I just want to be comfy AND cute. Which you totally achieve
I totally know what you mean. You have like at least 6 readers though
Keep being awesome.
Keep trying! The in-betweens are always the hardest, when you are where you are and you’re not where you want to be. You’ll make that dream happen, someday!
I just wanted to let you know, your blog is one of my favorites. It is so hard to keep at it when you think no one is reading–its my biggest problem right now as a brand new blogger. Keep it up though, we’ve all got to start somewhere and for newbies like me, you are inspiration!
