It's been three months since I last published a blog. Wow! Certainly let my blogging slip and decline that's for sure. But there's a few reasons as to why. Life just sort of got in the way. I had quite a few drafts that I could have posted but I haven't even came on to my blog since September. So what's been going on?
I Moved Out
So the main one is that I moved. It was a pretty big deal as this is the first time I've ever moved from my mum's. Exciting times as Chris and I finally bought our first home together and that has taken up quite a bit of my time and I'm trying to figure out how to organise everything time wise. There was the moving in part which took a few days and then setting everything up. Hopefully in the new year we will start decorating our home to how we want it to be. Everything is brown. Which is ok... if it wasn't every room. I am loving that we have our own space now though.
University
Another reason that I have been away for a bit is down to university. This is my last year so I have quite a bit of work to do. I still currently have an exam to study for and a 3,000 word case study to work on along with my dissertation. So right now I am probably using this as a form of procrastination really.
Anxiety
I don't talk a lot about my anxiety online or to those who are close to me but over the last couple of months I have really quite struggled with my anxiety which is possibly another reason that has kept me away and I would like to do a stand alone blog post soon to talk about my anxiety. It is a major reason why I have not posted recently though as I have felt my energy absolutely low and sometimes we need to take a break from things when it is possible to do so.
Family
As I have moved out I have been making a bit more effort to spend time with my family. My mum and dad are very important to me and I enjoy spending time with them so the free time I do get when I'm not doing uni work, looking after our home, or spending time with Chris I like to spend it with family. So most of my free time is being used up that. Also since my niece and nephew moved with their mum I only get to see them every so often so try to make time for them too.
It's not a bad thing when you don't blog for long periods of time. It happens. Hopefully I'm getting my energy back and will be a bit more regular with posts but I'm not going to be too hard on myself.
Have you ever had a period where your blogging dipped? How do you get back into it?
Thanks for reading. :)
