Hello. It’s been a while.

You’re probably wondering where I’ve been? The truth is – nowhere (and everywhere!)

Back in August 2023, I enrolled as an apprentice on the Level 3 Content Creator course – something which excited me greatly. If you know me, you’ll know that I love learning new things and I’m an immensely creative individual, and so the course sounded like the perfect development tool for myself – and it was! I learned so much about creative process such as editing, videography, how to create content for social media, how to optimise blog posts, and more. But, even though it is a course that I completed alongside my full time job (i.e within work hours), I found that doing both was utterly exhausting, which meant that I didn’t have the motivation for much else after I finished work, despite trying very hard. I mean, I only read five books last year – a whopping 45 less than the year before, and 95 less than the year before that!

That being said, I did try to keep up with posting on here and on Instagram as best as I could, but with very little happening in the way of reading, I haven’t had much to post over there… and trying to find the time to finish the 68 blog posts that I have in my drafts has been challenging. Even more so, when I haven’t had the inspiration to write. And when it comes to creativity, inspiration is everything.

But, I really love this blog. It is a place where I can be authentically myself, and share things that I enjoy, that inspire me, that I want to recommend to other people, and dive into my innermost thoughts, or ponder about the world. I have so many things to share and say, even if I haven’t posted them yet, and I really want to make a commitment to not let this blog slip through the cracks again, because I think it could really be something special if given the chance.

Which is why I am going to make a vow: that I will post something every fortnight. It doesn’t matter what it is, so as long as I am posting regularly. Perhaps it will be as simple as a thought that has been on my mind, or a piece of advice I want to share with people. Or maybe it will be an in-depth review of a product I’ve tried, a film I’ve watched, or a television series I’ve been binging. Maybe I’ll share some of my long lost writing that has been tucked away in my google documents for years. I don’t know what I’ll share – but that means we all get to be surprised!

What I do know is that at the top of the list of things I’ll be sharing soon will be: an updated review on Daisy Jones and the Six (the series), which I finally completed; some travel writing of my trips to Spain and Morocco – such as recalling my experience having my very first Hamam massage; several book reviews of things I’ve actually read recently; and more.

So, whether you’re a long time reader of my blog and have been here since the beginning, or you’re just tuning in for the first time – welcome. I hope we have some fun here together. :)
