If we were on a coffee date, I'd apologize a bajillion times about how shitty I've been about posting lately... as in like... for the past few months. Yes, yes, I know. But my interest in blogging has re-sparked. Ok, I'm not actually sure if that's a real word but hey, we're going to roll with it! I guess I just remembered why I wanted to start this blog in the first place. I'm not going to lie. It's a little daunting -- starting a blog. You don't know if anyone's going to read it or anyone's going to care. Is it a good idea?
Fuck it.
That's what I say. And I'd share this philosophy with you on this ideal coffee date. I want to have something to look back on: life, love, food, music. And when I first began this blog, I wanted to limit this blog and categorize it into a love blog but now I'm starting to see that it has potential to be so much more than that -- almost like an online diary. I mean, isn't that what people use blogs for these days?
In addition, let me redefine "love": In
So here's the the single girl in love 2.0. I'm in it for real this time (Or so I say. Finger crossed. Knock on wood! Whatever other cliches there are out there).
Goals:
1. To post EVERY Sunday. It gives me a week to work on a post, right? That's one post per week and once I start meeting one post per week then maybe we'll up the posting.
2. Recipe posts! I've got some great recipes coming ranging from dorm life to recipes requiring an oven and a stove. As much as we love that darn microwave, it's nice to have a meal from scratch.
3. Love what I do. Find my voice. Enjoy the words. Speak from the heart.
If we were on a coffee date, I'd tell you that second semester was going well and it is enormously different than first. It's been a lot more work than I'd ever thought it could be and sometimes I feel like I can't catch my breath. In those moments of stress and tearing my hair out, I remind myself to take a deep breath and remind myself why I'm doing what I do. Why put myself through all the stress?
Because I love it. Plain and simple.
If I were on this imaginary coffee date, I'd then tell you that my romantic life has been a little crazy lately. Oh the stories I have to tell. I'd tell you the stories in turn with your story but for now, these stories are for another post(s).
I'm really looking forward to getting back into this blog. I think it's an outlet that is very much needed and I'm hoping to connect with at least one person through this blog. I've been inspired by a lot of blogs -- specifically lifestyle and sewing blogs -- and would love to do that for someone else.
Until we meet again,
-- J
