I don’t have anything specific to write about. Not because I can’t think of any ideas (I have a whole spreadsheet of ideas sitting untouched for months…) Because I want to just write my thoughts. To get back to the basics of blogging. Writing about what I’m thinking, doing, seeing. Where I’ve traveled, places I’ve eaten, and things I’ve enjoyed. Just blog.
All of my ideas on the spreadsheet are Google Trends analyzed, perfectly titled to make people want to click on them, and palatable to a big audience of people. Well, not all of them, but I’d be lying if I said that wasn’t the goal when trying to come up with a title 99% of the time.
That’s exhausting.
I just want to write. Regardless of what it’s about or if anyone actually clicks on it (let alone reads it.) Regardless of the pageviews, sessions, bounce rate, and all those other boring (but seemingly necessary) analytics.
I’m tired of the numbers.
I’m tired of planning every possible thing when it comes to writing.
I just want to write.
Honestly, it feels like no one may ever read this. I want to say “that’s okay” but that feels pretty shitty.
What’s the point of putting all this effort into my blog and trying to write helpful/relevant posts if no one ever sees them?
I guess the point is just to let whatever’s in my head out in a creative way. Just to write whatever I’m feeling at that moment. To be true to myself and hope that it resonates with someone out there.
We’ll see if this goes anywhere. There’s no way to predict it for sure. If there was, I guess it’d be pretty boring, wouldn’t it?
Anyway, my wrists hurt from trying to set up this theme for the last 2 hours so I’m going to take a break, go to the gym, and lay by the pool.
We’ll talk soon. 🙂
