After debating with myself about whether or not to start blogging again, for a whole four years, here I am. What inspired me to start this up again was seeing my friend Lenni start to blog. I've really missed it, and have missed reading and interacting with some of my favorite blogs, such as Carla's. I regret taking so long because honestly... so much has changed in these past four years and I would have loved to be able to look back and reflect on everything that's happened between then and now.
As a very private, fake introverted Scorpio, I honestly just get anxiety thinking about people being able to read about my life. And at some point a few years ago, I noticed a major shift with blogging turn into a business—and that's AMAZING. I am so happy for those who have been able to monetize their passion for writing and creating content, and it even turning into other business ventures and opening other doors for them. But that wasn't my purpose in having a blog, I just wanted to write random things about what was going on in my life, my goals, my hair, my favorite beauty products, good times with family and friends, food, all of that because it was just therapeutic for me. So I just started to feel weird about what this has all turned into. I started doing this a very long time ago back on the Xanga days, then LiveJournal, and yeah... things have changed a lot since 2002 LOL. So that's pretty much why I stopped.
But... I am back and (hopefully) here to stay a while. I am going to try to post at least once a month, even if it's just photo recaps. That's another thing I rarely do anymore—TAKE PHOTOS. My little Sony A5000 has been collecting dust for a good 2-3 years. My Nikon... haven't charged it in God knows how long. But I am going to make an effort to keep my little throwback Sony in my bag and try to capture moments again, like I use to.
And there's my little intro about my return to the blogging world. Now I just need to remember how to actually use this thing again.
