I’ve recently found myself asking what do I want my blog to be about?
And the answer is – anything and everything that interests
me. I want to write about my world, the thoughts that are scattered around my
messy brain, the places I like the most, the books I enjoy reading, my friends, my feelings. It’s hard to know how
much you should put on the Internet, in a way I want my blog to be more of a
personal journal, but I’m aware that it can only be so personal with everyone
and anyone able to read it. But I’ve grown since I started writing this blog
four years ago. I love fashion, and I love fashion blogging but if I’m honest,
my passions have grown with me. Fashion blogging and outfit posts will always
be close to my heart as that’s what started my blogging journey off but, things
can change.
If someone asked me what I wanted to do with my life one or
two years ago I would say be a fashion journalist without hesitation. However
in the past six months or so I’ve realised that yes, I love fashion, but I wouldn’t
say it was my passion. God knows what I’ll do with my life when I graduate in
three years but I hope that it is something to do with writing – be it books,
magazines, newspapers, even blogging! I love writing about things and that’s the
direction I want this blog to develop.
In a way I want to
write about books, but my fear is, and always has been is that people know much
more than me so what right do I have to comment on a well known book? I’ve come
to realise, that as an English literature student – and just as a human, I have
every right to comment and have my own opinion on anything. I’m scared at
putting my own judgements out there, but if I do eventually write for a
living – whether it be any kind of journalist, author or absolutely anything–
I need to be confident in myself.
So here it is - new year, new blog? Not exactly, I’m evolving
and growing as a human being and so is my voice and I just want to open this
blog up to that change and not feel penned down by the expectations of being a
fashion blogger. I’m a blogger, not caged in to one category but just trying to figure my way in the blogging world!
