Having a blog is not easy for me. It's not something I'm comfortable with. It's not something that just comes to me. Yes, I know - it's still so new to me but STILL. I'm not a writer (I spend my days crunching numbers, creating Excel spreadsheets, and looking at financial statements for goodness sake!) I'm a total numbers girl - writing just ain't my thing. Not to mention, I don't feel like my life is very exciting and therefore, coming up with content for my blog is hard. Or maybe I just haven't gotten into the blogger mindset and realized that things do happen in my life that people want to hear and read about. Maybe I do actually have content - maybe I just don't see it yet.
Furthermore, I read all these other blogs - you know, the ones that are real - actually legit - people actually make money from 'em. And they're so well written. And the peeps behind the blogs are real - you feel like you know them just by reading one post. And they're funny. And smart. And witty. And sometimes sarcastic (which I LOVE!) And I wanna be like that. They just have a way with words...a way I'll probably never have. But all that's OK. And it's OK because even though this blog isn't the best it's just for fun for me. And even though it's not easy for me and I'm not comfortable in this whole 'blog world' yet, I'm sticking with it (I have to just to prove to myself that I can do it...because normally if I'm not good at something and it doesn't come easy to me I quit!!) Maybe someday it'll be easy. Maybe someday I'll be like 'Wow - Renee - that was a damn good post.' And maybe one day I won't. But in either case, I'm here. And I'm staying. This, along with everything else in life, is a work in progress. And hopefully, I'll keep progressing. So stick around and continue on this journey with me... <3

Everyone starts out the same way. You can't compare yourself to people who have been doing it for years. It has to just be something fun--otherwise you'll never want to do it. Once it becomes a chore it won't be fun anymore. You're uniquely you. And you don't have to be a writer to be a blogger. In fact, most bloggers AREN'T writers. It's more about connecting with the actual person! Enjoy it, girl!

Trust me girl, I've been writing in my blog for 2+ years and I still struggle at times for topics, but as long and it's fun, I'll keep doing it! I love to write, but I'm def embarrassed at some of my earliest posts too... so don't go back too far in the archives ;)
