As the months go by and the planning process continues to unfold, the money quickly comes out of the account just as quickly as it went in, and I start to be thrown in all different directions. And I realize how quickly we can be shaped and formed into something we're not. I became glued to the computer reading blog after blog of DIY ideas and inspiration boards wishing I could be like others who blog and then I attempted to apply to blog.
And I waited....and waited....and tried to make my blogs to their liking instead of just simply writing how I wanted. Then I got my rejection letter which I was expecting anyways since my gut feeling is never wrong. There are probably many things I could have changed or tweaked in my application but being so overwhelmed with excitement at the thought of blogging for a website overcame me and I hit 'send' so quickly without really looking at what I wrote.
My first reaction was really bummed but then I realized that I was trying to be someone i'm not and change my ideas, hopes and dreams for my wedding just to be recognized by a website. Losing sight of why I blogged in the first place; just to get MY ideas and MY thoughts down on paper (well computer) so that I wouldn't drive myself nuts.
NOT saying that my previous blogs were not my ideas but I tweaked some things to make my blog noticeable when really I don't care if it's read daily by tons of people or just myself (shout out to my best blog friend CurlySue who has been a blessing to talk to!).
So from now on i'm blogging my way and I hope you enjoy it! Don't expect it to have perfect grammar or punctuation! LOL
