Back Again ✨

Today I woke up with an inner urge to write something in here. And even though I don’t really know what I want to write about, I decided to just ramble on and see how it goes.

I haven’t posted anything for more than a month. The thing is that I’m out of topics right now. First of all because it’s been a crazy couple of months, second of all because I always feel the least inspired in summer, and third of all because I have to come up with at least 5 ideas for articles per day for my job, so I guess all my creative energy goes in there. I’m not trying to justify myself or anything, just typing my thoughts.

At first I was a little disappointed with myself that I failed and stopped writing but later I’ve changed my attitude. This blog was initially just a platform to write, like in an online diary. Later I started to treat it more professionally, coming up with interesting and beneficial topics to talk about regularly. But I guess things change and that’s okay. You can’t keep on doing the same thing for years and years, sometimes you need a break, in order to find a fresh source of inspiration. The blog has been my only job type of thing for a couple of years, but now maybe it’s time I concentrate my energy more into someplace else.

It doesn’t mean that I’ll stop to write here, absolutely not. I love this place, it’s where I’m in charge of everything, I make all the decisions and I like it. Plus, I have a couple of interesting ideas for small projects, which I hope to make and post soon. And since my favorite season is just around the corner, it automatically means more beautiful posts.

I feel like life is teaching us to let go of control and just go with the flow. Things happen and we can’t really do anything about it, so it’s all about accepting it and changing your attitude. Once you do that, the situation gets better and easier to handle, so that’s what I’m trying to do. Life goes as planned, and we, humans, are simply puppets of destiny and higher powers. Well, this sounded a little harsh, because we do have some power, unlike marionettes.

That’s it for this weird comeback post, I guess. I hope I’ll find more inspiration to write more often in here, because that’s what I value the most in this place. That I write not out of duty, because of a discipline or sth, but thanks to the inner muse.

  1. It’s always a delight to see your blog notifications when they arrive in my in-box, regardless of the frequency and today’s was no exception.

    It’s refreshing to read your wise words: “I feel like life is teaching us to let go of control and just go with the flow,” and “That I write not out of duty, because of a discipline or sth, but thanks to the inner muse.”
    I think we all feel the pressure to be always “on,” that if we don’t post on our blogs all the time, we will be forgotten, that we must always have something witty or wise or important to share. Yet, often we don’t. I think it’s better not to force it and, like you say, just respond to the “inner muse.”

    When I started my blog I was disciplined. Post at least once a month! Which I did, until I ran out of things that I wanted to say, so I started to let go and now I only post when circumstances or the “muse” call for it. It’s scary to disconnect, too. It’s that old saying, “out of sight, out of mind.” Hence the pressure on social media to always be on, to always be giving “likes” and comments but if we trust ourselves and others, we can be comfortable with the times when we need to be away, and then show up again, just like a dear friend we love but seldom see. And how much more delicious is a reunion after an absence compared to the expected “duty” of always being there!

    Sorry for rambling my thoughts on your blog space, but your post was too important not to respond to. I hope you enjoy your summer. It’s a time to be present to nature and life, to be in the moment rather than too much time on the computer!

    I will now disconnect from my computer for the rest of the day and go out and enjoy my garden and the beauty of nature around me. AND I won’t even post about it! (for now) lol

    Looking forward to when your “muse” shows up again on your blog!

    • thanks so much! I’m so glad that my words somehow inspired you! Sadly you are right, nowadays there are so many bloggers and content out there, that if you disappear from the radar, you’ll soon be forgotten because there always will be a replacement for you. but it’s about your priorities, whether you want to stress out in order to be seen, or be peaceful and in harmony with yourself and enjoy every second of making content. I wish you a great weekend offline in your beautiful garden 😄🌿

  2. Thanks for reminding me that sometimes a pause is very useful for letting go of control and running around and ” just go with the flow”😊❤

  4. I feel you! I have had quite similar situation! Yes, pause is needed sometimes even though it feels bad when you can’t publish posts. You just simply can’t always do it.
