A New Direction for the Blog
Well, it’s been almost three weeks since I last checked in on the blog. Quite a bit of time, I know. But, for good reason. Over the last few weeks, I’ve been making some (more) changes in my life, still working on my apartment, and spending a lot less time on the computer. During this time I’ve also given a lot of thought regarding the direction I’d like to take my blog over the second half of the year. And I think I’ve finally figured it out…or at least I hope so. (haha)
As some of you may know, I’ve now been living the sober life for 6 months. I cannot believe that. But, it’s brought nothing but wonderful things to my life. I’m also aware that a twenty-something female living life alcohol free is a rarity. And I want to share all of that with my readers. I’ve come to realize that a majority of the people venturing through recovery or sobriety are well into their 40s and 50s+. This is sometimes hard for someone of my age to relate to. I want to make my blog a place for other 20-30somethings (or really whatever age) to read, find answers or be able to ask questions about living a sober life.
I also have begun to venture on the path of meditation. This is something that’s really begun to change my life as well. I’ve started to learn about who I am, and that I am the only one who can make myself happy. Nobody else in the world can. And I’d love to share that with all of you as well.
I’m not looking to become all preachy, or niche specific. Nor am I looking to be a martyr. But, I know that a blog can be used for better things than just showing off the latest fashion picks and beauty tips. Granted, there is nothing wrong with that. And I’m not saying I won’t continue to do that type of stuff. But, I just know that I can make my blog so much more than just that. More than just the bare minimum.
And I hope you are bare with me while I make this blog transition and take this new adventure with me.
Thanks for sticking around for so many years. Thanks for reading.
