hello you beautiful people you. this post is well over due seeing that i ended up skipping the past two week’s, but life happens! and as sad as i was at that i did not get to it i realized that it was perfectly okay. it was only two posts and being present during the holiday season meant so much more to me. regardless, it’s a bittersweet feeling knowing that this is my last weekly blog. that’s right! you heard it, no more weekly blog posts and honestly i am pretty excited about it.

while it was fun as well as challenging and it helped me grow it is time to switch things up. what once was enjoyable came to the point that it felt like a job. i felt pressure to get it done, on time, and that each one needed to be absolutely the best writing piece i had done. then during these last few month as things always seem to get busier around the holiday it became something that seemed to be getting in the way of relaxing or hanging out not to mention ideas weren’t coming as easy as they had before. what should i write about? did i already talk about that? is this relatable? will people like what i have to say in this one? basically, it came to a point were it was not benefiting me in the ways i wanted it to. now do not get me wrong i love and adore my blog and am so blessed to have taken on such a challenge because with it came so much beauty, lessons, and growth - all i am saying is it is okay when it is time to move on to move on. this is by far good bye for my blog, but it does mean that posts will not be as frequent and consistent as they have been this year because although it is good to push yourself, it is important to still love what you are doing and i want genuine content not content that feels forced, which is what these past few weeks especially have felt. that means that next year what i share will be less focus on how often i post but more so about the passion within the post.

with that said, this upcoming year i plan on devoting more time to my passion for photography. i can not even begin to explain how long photography has been a love of mine and like any relationship i have definitely had my highs and lows with it, but one thing is sure no matter how long i have stepped away for various reasons it has always been one i come back to. i am beyond excited to see what is in store for my photography as well as some other projects i am working on will lead. after seeing just how much progress can be made when you set goals and achieving them through my blog this year i am sure that the new and attainable goals made this year will continue to set my feet on the path that he beautifully laid out for me.
