Hello readers and welcome to my blog! This is my first post, and I am super excited to start talking about all of the many topics that I have been thinking about diving deeper into. I have procrastinated over writing a blog for a VERY long time and finally after overcoming my anxiety and fear of putting my voice and opinion out into the world, I decided that I wouldn’t be fully happy until I started the blog that I have always wanted to create.
I can thank one of my favorite YouTube channels, “Yes Theory” for inspiring me over the years to step out of my comfort zone and “Seek Discomfort”. Only within the last year have I really taken the message to heart, and boy am I glad I did. I have been on so many adventures, have excelled professionally, and have been able to build the confidence within myself that I have always strived to have.
I hope that with my newly found confidence not only within my spoken voice, but also with my written one, I can connect with you and bring unique topics and information onto the internet that may or may not have been talked about before; If the former, I hope to bring a new voice to whatever topic we may be discussing.
I hope to make this blog a place where I can share my favorite things to talk about, and hopefully some of yours too. Throughout my entire life, I have always been interested in topics that no one else seemed to like or be interested in… like books… Can you believe it? *Sigh*
I want to make this blog a place where everyone feels welcome and we can talk to each other about many different topics, cultures, places in the world, literally EVERYTHING and ANYTHING!
My writing style has always been one extreme or the other — either super formal and sophisticated, or wayyyy to casual. I hope to keep a casual tone and vibe when writing my blog posts, but also give useful and practical information when needed.
I plan to write about many different topics ranging from wellness and books, to environmental/sustainability and fashion. Honestly, I have so many ideas going through my head that I can’t even begin to describe what all I want to write about.
Here are some of the topics, thoughts, etc. I thought may be interesting to blog about:
- Writing in general or the publishing industry
- Book reviews (my faves are YA/NA sci-fi / fantasy + romance)
- Fandoms (shows, books, music, etc.)
- Celebrities
- Current Fashion Trends
- Mental Health
- Health in general / wellness
- Dating/Dating apps (Don’t even get me started)
- Q&A, perhaps I reach out to people to get their opinions on certain topics and make a post about it?
Leave a comment and let me know what ideas and topics you think I should blog about, and what YOU would enjoy talking about!
As I mentioned previously, this is my first ever personal blog, I have only ever freelance written for other people. I have always been a pro at adapting my written voice to the person I am writing for.
But now, I am trying to find my OWN voice. I’d say it’s probably somewhere between sarcastic, witty, fun, and shy… does that make sense? Anyway, bear with me. I would love to hear if you have any suggestions for me! (Constructive and nice criticism only PLEASE, i’m fragile.)
If you have stuck around this long and read this post, I appreciate you and I’ll look forward to connecting with you! You can also find my social media links below, give me a follow and say HI!
Xoxo,
Emily
