Sorry I haven\u2019t blogged for a while. Sorry also that I always say I will make a point of blogging regularly before unintentionally disappearing from here once more for an another hiatus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This post will be a rough one. Probably not proof read so please do forgive any typos or sentences that don\u2019t read so well. It\u2019s quite late and I am finally in bed after an evening of tidying my flat and getting on top of my washing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am POOPED, but I wanted to write something on here for two reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first one being that I wanted to check in and say hello. It has been a while and I\u2019ve missed ya! And secondly to make sure it\u2019s actually working OK. I had to move website hosts last month and there were a few panics and glitches along the way which meant I couldn’t blog. I couldn\u2019t draft a blog either as it wouldn\u2019t save. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last month I had planned to talk about my goals for 2022 but that seems a bit silly now we are half way through February. The year doesn\u2019t feel so fresh and new now does it? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m not one for New Year resolutions really. Mainly because I don\u2019t believe you should wait till a new year, month or week to make changes or break old habits. I also don\u2019t think you should pressure yourself to or overload yourself with change. You ultimately set yourself up for failure this way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like most successes in life; slow and steady wins the race. Little goals smashed equate to big successes long term. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am not against NY resolutions by the way, I just think overall they are pushed by companies that want us to buy their shit in the promise it will make you a better person for doing so. It\u2019s all a marketing ploy like most things in this modern world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do have more goals and focus for this year though. I ended 2021 with the realisation I am kinda in the same place in life I was at the end of 2020. Only fatter and a year older ha. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like most people I have dreams, I have ambitions, I have changes I want to make. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t want 2022 to end the same as it did last year, with me in the same place once more. I want to stop putting things off, I want to believe in myself and my ability and push myself more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get out of my comfort zone a hell of a lot more. Say yes more and take many more chances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sounds stupid but that is really the ultimate reason I wrote this blog post. I am always thinking about writing; ideas for blogs or stories. Every day. And I tell myself every say that I am going to blog of an evening but get to a point where I am too tired and put it off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I make excuses such as \u2018I haven\u2019t any good ideas\u2019 or \u2018I\u2019m tired and won\u2019t write anything good\u2019. So tonight I just wrote. Yes I am tired and yes I had no idea what I was going to say. But I wrote anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it is actually an amazing feeling writing so freely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I promise future posts on here will be properly proofread etc. unlike this one. I am just going to hit \u2018publish\u2019 on this one and set it free. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let me know if you liked this more random type of blog entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let me know also if you are still sticking to your new years resolutions and what they are if so! I would love to know!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy (VERY belated) New year. X<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
