Losing My Way With Blogging

Well, I haven't done a random, rambly post in a while, have I? So, I guess it was a bit overdue. Since starting blogging last November/December time, I immediately 'fell in love' with blogging. I couldn't believe it had taken me so long to set one up and was amazed at how much I enjoyed this little hobby of mine. I got into a routine of posting about 3x a week and was constantly thinking of, and generating, new content. The idea of completely running out of ideas and losing all my motivation was never something I thought would happen, until recently...

In the past couple of months I feel like I've kind of lost my way with blogging. I don't really know why, but I just do. I've not been motivated to blog, I've not really been reading other blogs which is where I often got a lot of my own inspiration from and I've just not been 'feeling' the whole blogging thing, in a nutshell. 

I used to, and still do, love blogging. But I guess life has kind of taken over. When blogging isn't your career and it's just a hobby, it can be hard to justify putting it in front of other things in your life. And that's basically what's happened with me.   

I've realised now that I just need to chill out a bit. I was getting so worked up about posting as often as I could, making sure all my photos were white and bright and gaining followers at a steady speed, that I was losing sight of why I actually started blogging.

I started it for me. Obviously, as time went on, I started to think about what my audience would like to read and I still do. At the end of the day, I wouldn't have a blog and publicize it if I didn't want people to read it. If all I wanted to do was write then I'd have a private journal or whatevs, simples. 

But, basically, I want to enjoy coming up with content, again. I want to have fun writing posts and taking photos - not see it as a chore. Which is why my content has been a bit scattered and random lately because I've been trying to only post when I really want to and not just write about a load of shite for the sake of it. 

So, sorry for how crap my blogging game has been lately! I want to get back into the swing of things and post content I'm happy with and that, hopefully, you guys enjoy reading. Rather than just feeling like I have to post and not been 100% happy with what I've uploaded.

Here's to a new start! Have you ever felt like you've lost your way with blogging?
