^^ That time I forgot my shirt for the photoshoot and looked like a John Lennon groupie? ^^
This is a question I have been mulling over in the past few weeks. This topic has been discussed over the blog world time and again and its good to think through. I see bloggers taking a stand against the perfectly curated life and revealing it all; un-edited photos, real stories from the dirty laundry pile, and honest discussions. I think it is riveting, refreshing, and important….
I also know that it is in my nature to want to uplift and encourage. I don’t like to dwell on the negative and always assume no one wants to hear it either. This is why I have fallen somewhere in the middle. I have written my fair share of One Truth or Real Chat posts, and have loved learning from you all in the process. I often wonder what is the best route to go when writing this blog. I received this note from a dear friend the other day and it came at just the right time. Its important to not hide your joys just as it is important not to hide all of your sorrows. So I would love to hear from you all. What is your perspective on the content bloggers share?….
Why do you come to a blog?
What do you look forward to reading?
Would you rather escape to a highlight reel or engage in someone’s real life scenarios?
I know I have sites I look forward to visiting that are on both spectrums. Its nice to read through stories I can personally relate to or even laugh at someone’s comical mishap. They can be encouraging on their own! However, its also nice to escape a hard day to some of my favorite style and design blogs. And there’s always pinterest…;)
The question I always ask myself which I hope translates through this blog, is how have I helped someone today? Have I promoted the good? Have I encouraged the struggling? Have I shared something I truely love? Honesty, Authenticity, and Creativity are what I value most in this space and I hope you can always sense that. Although I also hope you can smack me upside the head if I get to lofty. Sound good?
