This is my first post in four days.
When I started blogging here on Hive I was excited to post every day, or at least every second day. Just because I have so many ideas, so many things to write about!
I love editing photos, writing stories, thinking about how to structure a post.
And it feels just great to work on a project which is finished and ready to share at the end of the day.
But it isn't that easy sometimes.
First you need to know, that it's quite challenging for me, to write in English, because it's not my native language. Although I love doing it, (exactly because it is a challenge) it takes me hours sometimes to get a text that I actually like.
I have to look up words and phrases and I need twice as much time to find the words that expresses best, what I want to say.
Maybe it's my German mind, that wants everything to be as perfect as possible ^^
But I don't mind, because that is exactly what I want to do at the moment :-)
But the last days life told me to do different things.
There was a lot going on, we had some family around and spent a lot of time with them, we helped a friend optimize her website design, which was really fun.
I had so many inspiring conversations, learned some new skills and I felt it was right and important. But at the same time I had no space for concentrating on my own projects.
Or I just didn't claim my space.
And I got angry about me, to not have done anything for my Blog, to not have taken the time for myself, although the last days have been very productive, just in different way...
Very confusing ^^
So now I realized that I want to learn three things:
- Taking things easier, to not restricting myself with the plans I make.
- Claiming my space for the things I really want to do.
- Finding the right balance between point 1 and 2.
At the beginning of August my parents are going to visit me for about two weeks, which I'm really looking forward to. Wish me luck, that I have learned at least one of these lessons by then ^^
