Perspectives from a City-fied Southerner

It’s been a while…

So I haven’t posted in some time, as you can tell. The usual excuses about not having time aside, I think the real reason behind my “blog abandon” is different: it was intimidating.

Perhaps because of the influence of the field that I work in and love, blogging started to seem like a massive undertaking. Like the pressure was on to “create good content” that would be interesting and thought-provoking to anyone who decided to stop by my site. This led to my feeling like I wasn’t writing for me and was instead writing for other people who may or may not have read in the first place. When you feel like you spend hours ideating and writing posts for a public that is inundated with everyone else’s writing all day long, it can give you a ‘what’s the point?’ attitude.

So now I’m back with a new goal that is actually fairly similar to my original goal: to just write about what I’m thinking about. I hope that any of you who happen upon my blog will be interested in the topics I write about but if you’re not, just keep on keepin’ on to the next person’s online home.

So I’m looking forward to writing again, because dammit I have a lot to say! I’ve moved to one of the most amazing cities in the world, began my career, moved into my own apartment and oddly enough, started looking for someone to share these experiences with. I can’t wait to share my experiences with you all. I hope you can relate and will want to share yours as well!

Anyone else start out super excited to join the blogosphere and then have a lackluster experience?
