Finding Motivation

It's about that time in the semester where I've basically lost all motivation. Not just in school, but with most things I usually enjoy doing. I'm not really sure why. Maybe it's the fact that the weather is still ridiculously cold here, even though its April now. Anyway, I can't really find much motivation. Whether it be to study, to write on this blog, or to just do activities I normally enjoy, like baking and taking pictures. Honestly, all I do lately is watch Netflix and worry about all the things I'm not doing.

I'm trying to find more motivation to write for this blog, because it's something I'm so committed to, and something I really enjoy, but I can't seem to find the inspiration for it. I think my main issue is with the kind of content I was limiting myself to here. I always tried my best to write things I thought people wanted to read. Whether it be monthly favourites, advice articles or those typical lists (10 signs you are X, 15 reasons why X, you know the drill).

I think a reason why I've found myself writing less and less is because sometimes the things I feel like writing aren't things I intended to publish on this blog. Sometimes, I don't feel like writing something inspirational or something profound or something 'pretty'. Sometimes, I just want to talk about issues in my life, or to complain about things that may or may not be petty.

I've moved so far away from my initial hope of a blog, which is basically to have an online journal to write out my thoughts. So here is what I think I'm going to do. For the next few weeks, I'm going to write whatever I feel like writing. Whether or not I think it's something people particularly want to read. Because, sometimes, a girl just needs to vent.

Anyway, if you find yourself reading this, thank you for making it this far. I hope you stick around to read the things going through my mind. Hopefully this gets me out of my writers block!

Hope it's warmer and sunnier where you are!
