I feel very out of sorts this week. Not in a bad way, necessarily, just very... disrooted. I just moved into my own apartment in Seattle last week, and while I love it and am so excited to have my own space, I also find that in-between period when you've moved all the furniture in, but you're still unpacking boxes, to be a little frustrating. It's that 'I know I have this thing I need, but I have no earthly idea what box it could be in' feeling. Plus, not having the internet hooked up yet is kind of a major hindrance for my projects – hence me blogging this from my office on my lunch break.
In fact, all week I've been quickly blogging on my lunch break, and while I enjoy the topics I've posted about, I still wrestle with the desire to produce more original content, and the constant project of learning to self-edit what I'm presenting to the world. When I started this blog, I made a decision that I would blog once each day of the (work) week, and for the most part, I have kept up with that. There's a certain responsibility I feel to myself and to my readers (however many–or few–they may be) to post each day, but at what cost? I work a full-time job in addition to working on the Balue/Co. shop, and once in a while blogging simply can't be fit into the schedule. Sometimes I look at all the amazing bloggers out there who do this full-time and I think 'how will my blog ever be able to compete with theirs?' But you know what? It doesn't need to. Not right now, at least. The simple reality is that I cannot dedicate the amount of time that some others can, and that's okay. I'll get there someday.
In the meantime, you may not see new posts here every day, just for the sake of posting. However, what I do want to promise is that when I do post, the content will be thoughtful, meaningful, and more often than not, original.
That seems like a good place to start.
