I follow a lot of bloggers. It’s a world I’m fascinated by. I think it’s so cool to share what is going on in your life, but I started a blog focused on what I’m reading because it seemed safer. Now, I realize one of my favorite parts of this project I embarked on was that I LOVE connecting with fellow readers: book lovers, readers of this blog, and other blog readers.
I don’t know why I stopped writing in the new year. I always have a hard time transitioning out of fall/Christmas time into January because I LOVE September-December so much. I always feel like I am my best self during that time and then January-February I’m just a blah monster waiting for spring. Give me a couple snow days and the chance to stay home all day reading, and that’s about all I care about when it comes to those winter months.
But I miss writing. I miss having this purpose. It also doesn’t help that this time of year is “audition season” in the acting world. It’s really overwhelming and sometimes, I just need a break. I need to turn my brain off and focus on the work.
It’s also been a tough time because I am in the midst of planning my own wedding and my brother is getting married this July. It’s made it hard to turn down work I’ve been offered for the summer and not feel like I’m falling behind in my career goals. But there are some things you have to prioritize.
So, I’ve been reading a lot and trying to write more fiction in my down time, but that doesn’t happen a lot. I was walking through the city yesterday and just wanted to scream, ‘FINE UNIVERSE I GET IT’ but I try to keep a relatively low profile, yeah? Just kidding no one knows who I am.
I finished Parkland by Dave Cullen last night and want to right up a full review this week! I love structure but I think this blog got a little too structured and I was struggling to fit into the mold I created for myself.
I hope you’re excited for some wedding content. It’s something I’m really involved in right now and I love finding other bloggers who are getting married. I don’t even know who reads these posts…but if you do, please leave me a comment about what kind of content you’d like to see? I did an instagram poll and only received one “No” regarding wedding content.
Spring is just around the corner and I’m ready for it. I’m ready to shake this off.
