Thea's Thinkings: Finding my voice

Finding my voice

Well hey there, welcome back!

So…did you spot the new logo? Yep, there is it. Quite pleased with it really!

It’s taken a while but over the last year I made quite a few edits to the look and feel of the blog and I really like how it’s shaping up. It’s very much a representation of who I am, but something I’ve always wanted to do was dabble with creating my own logo, or branding I suppose, and I’m really pleased with the way it’s turned out. It’s a nice new look to kick things off again.

I put a grab button together too which is now a permanent feature in the side bar over…there.

But getting back on top of things has been more challenging that I thought it would be.

I’ve taken breaks from blogging many times over the last few years but this is really the first time I’ve ever not known how to start again.

It’s not a writer’s block. Luckily I’ve never really felt unable to think of ideas or create content but I feel like I’ve hit quite a turning point in my journey as a blogger and defining myself, my brand and how I do all of this is something I really don’t want to leap into without a more confident picture or what I’m doing and where I’m going.

What I’d really like to know right now is how many other bloggers have felt this way at some point? If you’ve been through a similar thing let me know did you move passed it? What action did you take, or what decisions did you come to? Did you experience a change in thinking, or branding, or take a new angle with your content?

Let me know. It would be very reassuring to know others are or have gone through this.

For the time being I have lots of content I’ve already written that I’d like to upload so there are posts on the way, but you may (or may not!) start to see some changes around here. Once I figure that out I know it’ll be a great new adventure for the blog.

In the meantime I’m also getting active on the Youtube channel so be sure to go check that out! I’ve started vlogging more regularly which has been a lot of fun, and all the bits and bobs you find here are going to be making there way over there very soon too!

So yes, I’d love to hear about any blogger struggles you’ve had in the comments, and any suggestions you might have to really get my head back in the right place again!

I feel exactly the same right now! Not quite sure what direction I want my blog / channel to go, but I think the best way to figure it out is just post whatever YOU want to.

I started blogging when I was just a kid, so I've gone through feeling like this so, so many times. People always worry about it, but really, the people who really want to keep up with your blog are going to stick through all re-brands, and schedule changes and whatever direction you feel is best for you! I think I've changed the name of my current blog about five times in the past three years, because I kept coming up with names and as I'm in the middle of growing up, I kept outgrowing the name changes too. I love your header- it's absolutely gorgeous! I have complete faith that whatever you do, it will be amazing, and I can't wait to see it.

So much love,

(P.S I just found your blog today but I'm so, so glad I did, I'm falling in love with it <3)
