Hmm...where do I start? Well, first I think I should clear the air by saying that I am back to blogging baby. For good. Pinky promise. I know that I said this in my last blog post (about 2 months ago...yikes!) and I really don't have a valid excuse. Besides the fact that my life plans have changed in that I have decided that college is on the horizon and how I am still struggling with the whole weight and insecurity issues, these things should not have thrown my passion, blogging, to the curb.
During the months of my time off, blogging was always in the back of my mind. Whenever I scrolled through my Instagram feed, a feeling of guilt and sadness flooded my body because seeing pictures of other bloggers made me feel like I was missing out. Here were my fellow bloggers doing what they loved most and I wasn't. Something that made me so happy and full of life was put on a long hold all because of some roadblocks in the way.
The silver lining? I realized during my time away that blogging is something I truly, truly love doing. I love photography and I love writing. My blog is a place, my place, where I can express myself and be creative. The feeling I get when publishing a new blog post is the same feeling my dad gets when his favorite football team wins a game. Just pure, utter happiness.
But that's enough of the sappy talk for now. Onto other news, can you guys believe that 2016 is nearly over already? I don't know about you, but I am overwhelmingly excited for the fall/autumn season to come. Cozy sweaters and sweatshirts, boots, changing leaves, and fall sports are what I love most about this time of year. Of course, I can't forget about the fact that it means Halloween and Christmas are coming soon! But seriously, where does time go? All I can say is that I hope 2017 brings more laughter, happiness, and memories (because you can never have too much of that).
Now that I am back for good, I want to know what type of posts you want to see from me! Do you want more beauty, fitness, advice, or random, chatty types of posts? Let me know in the comments! Oh, I'm also looking into purchasing a new camera...preferably the oh-so-famous Olympus Pen E-PL7. If you have any input or opinions on the camera, be sure to let me know as well!
It truly feels so amazing to be writing again and I can't wait to continue on. Be sure to leave your links below to your blogs and Instagram's so I can give you a follow and stalk your blog :) Thanks for reading!
Much love,
Gabriella xx

I have to agree, there is always such a fulfilling feeling after publishing a blog post! I'm also currently eyeing up the infamous Olympus Pen camera as I feel that it is the perfect size to be able to carry around, whilst equally it takes good quality photos.
ReplyDeleteLovely post, Gabriella!
