"I am still learning how to go back and reread my own chapters without feeling like I want to set all of my pages on fire". — E.V. Rogina
I've moved here.
Hello, friend. It certainly has been a while. You’re probably wondering why I’ve made a new blog when this one’s working perfectly fine. To be honest, I’m not entirely sure, either, but I guess this is just me looking for a fresh start. Every bone in my body has ached for a new start ever since I turned 28 this year, but I still had yet to examine all the aspects of my life which I feel needs some change. There’s a lot to consider now that I’m inching my 30s, but there are also things I’ve chosen to ignore in the meantime, like my job, which still pays the bills.
My blogging, or this meticulous online record of things that occurred in my life as of recent times, happens to be one of those important aspects. I don't think blogging can ever become my bread and butter. Not when I'm so busy with my work life. Not with so many obsessions taking place in my life as well. The pressure to keep on creating and producing content at a pace I can't control will result in burnout and I may eventually start resenting this, which isn’t what I had in mind at all since blogging is supposed to give me peace of mind. While I write to clear my head, I still find time to write about other interesting things every once in a while. Having considered this before, I believe blogging is still an unviable option for primary employment— for me, at least. However, it can always remain what it has always been for me: a way of expressing myself. A way to share whatever it is I find interesting. A place to put all of my recollections. A passionate way of storytelling.
I’ve come to the conclusion that I speak better on paper, or through my blogging. I’ll romanticise the hell out of my life and I don’t think I’ll ever shut up about it.
Let me come clean with another reason why I'm leaving this blog. I think Wix is clunky and requires a lot of maintenance. As I get older, I fear my ability to understand how this site works will only diminish. I've opted to move to a less complicated and hassle-free platform that doesn't require me to change how it looks every now and then to keep up with my own ever-changing tastes. This site will stay up, though, unlike my Blogger site that's been nuked of its posts. This is something I worked hard on over the last five years and I do adore all the posts I've left behind, even the heartbreaking ones.
So with that said, I invite you, old friends who have been with me since I first started writing online, to come and join me as I start sharing once more on another platform, and I say hello to the friends I still have yet to meet. Thank you very much for coming.
