Reasons
I have been thinking for a while now about how I should
approach certain topics and issues I’ve been having with my life, myself and my
writing. However, the answers to my many questions are fuzzy and tangled in
keywords that only guide me towards a reason, a reason to hope that I’ll have a clear
idea of where everything is headed. Fortunately, I am only going to outline the
new philosophy for this blog here, as you’ll probably get a sense of where I am
as a person through the way my content evolves.
I should probably try and explain the background of this
decision and the place where we start this development.
If you’ve read my blog before this post was published, then you should know that I’ve never been really close emotionally with what I was writing and that I’ve never gotten deeply involved with any topic. Therefore, I started feeling like some of the topics I approached were dealt with superficially and that caused me to stop and think about what and how. I realised that what I was interested in did not reflect here and this eventually let to me not posting as often. My passions were maybe mentioned briefly and my interests lightly touched upon in certain ways, but never discussed or embraced fully (something which partly happened in my everyday life as well). In turn, I had a few blogs/pages I read before and aspired to write in such a way that someone reading would feel a certain connection, would understand or calm itself. After all, I eagerly wanted to reach a balance between written word and emotion and this mattered enormously. As a result, I took my time to figure out what I want to make out of this space of thought and how I was going to get on with this journey. I took my time in figuring out the topics, the layout and the register I desired; it ended up taking longer than expected, partly due to the casualties I experienced personally. My decision regarding all of this has been taken, as well as the decision that I might at some point share the troubles I've been through as a way of helping others and myself cope.
Also, a part of my blog which I wished to improve was photography. When I started writing for this blog I started taking pictures to accompany the pieces of writing, which were supposed to encase the whole post. However, I felt a certain pressure of reaching a professional level maybe and a pressure to constantly use pictures for my blog(which were taken in a small amount of time), even though I wasn't happy with them. Thus, I started to frantically take pictures and try to use them in any way for this blog, which usually ended up with a disconnection between visual and emotional, again. From now on, nevertheless, I will actually let ideas flow as I've decided that a beautiful image can enhance the message but is not a necessity.
Lastly, this next year I am dedicating to discovering and developing myself as a unique individual. As I mentioned above, I've had a pretty difficult time which only resulted in not enough dedication towards exploring my thoughts, opinions and inspirations. This further led to a suffocation which kindly asked just for a breath of fresh air. A breath of new cultures, new philosophies and new people. I believe I am fortunate enough to get the opportunity to heal and think. And this space here will be a technique for therapy along the way.
To whatever the future holds.
