AH! I’m honestly so nervous posting here for the first time in… how long has it been??
Guys, 2022 has been INSANE. I got engaged, I planned a wedding in 6 months, I got MARRIED (holy s**t I’m a wife now), I got a promotion managing the restaurant I’ve worked at for as long as I’ve lived in Bend. Despite all of these amazing things, I’ve been creatively blocked and drained, my mind and energy consumed in my work and in my wedding.
But, since getting married I have done a whole lot of soul searching and made the hard and scary decision to leave my job which gave me so much security. I had to get real with myself and realize that it took more out of me than I was willing to give and that I deserve to have the time and energy to feed my creative side, because at the end of the day that’s what I love most about me.
I’ve struggled with guilt and feelings of “maybe I should just give up or start over after so long/ nobody remembers you/ no one cares anymore” but I poured a lot of myself into this page for a long time and figured I owe myself another shot at this. After this week I will be having a lot of time to myself and I can’t wait to ease back into (or jump back into) my passion of creating and I just hope some of y’all are still down to be along for the ride!
