Blogger Struggle and Redirecting My Space

by The Lemonade Society - 23.1.19

Hi everyone, thank you for taking out the time to read my blog. I feel like I’ve been on this journey of mine for a long time and that I’ve also been losing my way more often than I hoped since I started documenting it through my blog.

When I first started blogging, I did it because I felt I had gone through my fair share of challenges and had a clear perception of how to maneuver through

life's challenges. I started blogging to share my ideas and opinions as well as my life with anyone who cared to read.

During this time I started learning about blogging and the business of it all. I mean I wanted to do better than I already did. Its no new news that with blogging, finding your niche is important, having a theme on Instagram is important too because that’s your blog signboard. So pick a niche and a theme, also have a consistent flow for your blog, Easy peasy, right? Wrong!

These almost seemingly easy things became a thorn in my flesh -actually worse than that. I realized quickly that having a niche felt like being put in a box and I couldn’t find a theme I really liked, one that stood out for me. This constant need to find a niche instead of concentrating on the reason I started blogging anyway. I felt lost and overwhelmed all at once and let’s not forget the comparison moment a lot of you might have felt or put yourself through.

Now I had gone from carefree opinionated blogger to being absorbed by the idea of having a perfectly curated blog/Instagram feed.

More than ever, I want that me back. Don't worry, I’m going to still put all I’ve learned into practice and I’ll be sharing more information on what I know as well. So it’ll be fun. I'm going back to being my “all over the place” self. I want to enjoy my blogging experience In the best way that I can. It may not be under a particular niche but it will be undeniably ”ME” and I will rest easy. I do hope you will join me on this journey as I use this platform to express myself.
