2019: Back to Blogging
So it's been a hot minute - or 7 months since I last posted a blog post - and I want to get back into it. It was something I started after finishing art school, a little slice of the internet I carved out for myself as a way to express myself and my interests and to force me to actually leave my flat in Glasgow.
Now it's 2019: I've been living back in Fife for a whole year, changed jobs, fallen in love and along the way kind of forgot what else I enjoy doing in life. It probably happens to most people when they get themselves into a relationship - you want to spend all your free time with them and that can often mean you forget about some of the things you did for yourself.
I got really excited by doing blind portraits after I finished uni, and that kept up for quite a while until I just seemed to forget I liked doing them, and I also stopped and started reading books repeatedly (something I'm determined to change this year).
I realise that sounds quite bad that I stopped doing things for myself - it's not that I started living for anyone else, it's just that I wanted to be with my boyfriend all the time, and that just meant that other things fell off my list of priorities. Don't get me wrong, I still want to be with my boyfriend all the time (I know, boke at gross couple stuff), but this year I want to remember to do the things that I love too!
This is not a resolution because we all know those never last, but more of a reminder for myself that I do have interests and hobbies that are worth not losing and blogging is one of them! When falling in love, don't forget to stay in love with yourself and do the things that made you happy before you met your partner.
So here we go - 2019 is here and I am getting back to it! Don't expect things to be super regular around here like they were before, but know that if I have something to talk about I'm going to be posting about it from here on out!
Keep your eyes peeled!
Love,
