You see, I realized some stuff after reading this blog about a writer's lack of motivation and this article about unconventional personal branding rules. I've realized that my life is messy and complicated.
I stopped blogging because I felt like I was doing it wrong. I wasn't writing about anything in specific, I was sharing too much, I was uninteresting, I didn't care enough about expanding my readership, I was putting information out on the scary interwebs that might lead to identity theft (yes, I'm that paranoid), I was putting information out on the transparent interwebs that might lead to risking future jobs (duh, I'm that paranoid), etc.
But here's the thing. This blog is me. This is me trying to figure things out. So yeah. Life is Messy, and Complicated, and Dangerous, and hella Scary. But I can't just stop because of that. So... This is me. Trying to Deal With It.
Lesson #1: Move on. It doesn't matter if you're doing it 'right'. It matters that you're DOING it.
And, because I'm trying to grow as a person and get to a good place in my life, I'll throw in another one for today.
Lesson #2: If you need it, get help.
Because I need help. And I finally called someone about that today.
From now on, I will not be censored. I will not be too scared to say something. I will not worry about whether or not it's safe to post something IF IT NEEDS TO BE SAID. I can't control what other people do; I can't control what people read. I can control my life, and I can control what I write.
Feel free to join me on my journey of learning to deal with all things messy and complicated, and please, feel free to join in the conversation risk free - this is a no judgement zone.
Vale.
