10 THOUGHTS YOU HAVE WHEN YOU'RE A BLOGGER
So I'm back with another one of my blogging related thingymabobbies. I'm queen of overthinking just about everything so I thought this one might be appropriate.. Enjoy!
I'm crap at photography. Seriously, how do you get a blurry background?
Oh the blurry background. It's just one of those photography things I don't get. There's definitely more chance of a blurry Lydia than there is a blurry background. I'm better at photography than I once was, but there's only so much one girl, a tripod and a remote can come up with. Sometimes I'm okay with my pictures and sometimes I hate lighting, unpredictable weather, my lack of skills and anything else that means the result is one rather rubbish blog picture.
In fact I'm crap at everything.
I'm pretty sure blogging can induce those 'woe is me' rubbish feelings where you decide you're awful at everything and the last talent you had was cutting & sticking at Key Stage 3. Yeah, you tell yourself there are people far worse off, but First World Problems are occasionally inevitable. It's not the end of the world that you managed to take a load of pictures out of shot or included an awkward typo in a post, but it is okay to have a little huff about it. These things happen.
What the heck is HTML and why does it hate me?
There have been times when I've decided HTML has a mind of its own. It doesn't matter what I do, my text will still be aligned completely the opposite to how I want it and no amount of Googling will fix it. Eventually these things get worked out, but I still have times when I've no idea what to do with it.
I look like a thumb in all these pictures.
Did I have to pull that face? Did I have to let that Domino's Two for Tuesday food baby stick out quite so much? How could I feel like my face was completely normal and I was sucking in & sticking out all the right bits & yet the result is this?! Sometimes I will take what seems like a million pictures and I'll still look not find one that I like.
I've got too much to do and not enough time to do it.
Fitting blogging in around life can be difficult, and I definitely have times when I have no idea how I'll fit it all in. When you're working and living your normal life it can be hard to find time for blogging. I tend to get the main bits done over the weekend then finish off in the evenings, but there are still times when I don't know how I'll get it all done.. Cue 5am write ups and blogging on the go.
Why didn't I think of that?
Having that moment when you've seen an amazing blog post and think 'why the fudge did I not have that idea'?! Sometimes people just get an amazingly simple idea and then it seems so obvious.. I've mentioned that it's easy to compare yourself in the blogging world and that also goes for comparing yourself with other people's content.
If I write this are people going to take this the wrong way?
If you're an over thinker, like me, I think this one will have popped up at some point. It's difficult to get your point across when all you're just giving people a few paragraphs on the internet. Sometimes I worry people might not get my sarcasm or my Honey Boo Boo references or think that I've said something in a completely different way to what I meant it. It's probably one I worry about more than I need to but I still find it a thought difficult to avoid.
HOW much can I say about a top?
There are times when I have no flipping idea what else I can say about one bloody top or a pair of jeans. Really, it's a top, I like it. I'm done. That's all I've got. I'm guessing it's just like writer's block. Sometimes I can ramble on for ages about what I'm blogging about and other days it's like trying to get blood out of a stone.
More importantly, does anyone care?!
LOL. When I'm having one of those days when I've not got anything to say this usually pops into my head. Is anyone even going to read this?! Does anyone really give a crap about why I've worn trousers today instead of a dress?! I know myself I tend to flick through blog posts for the pictures & where things are from, so I can completely understand that other people do it too.
What did I do with my life before blogging? Was all this time I spend on my blog spent sat like a potato?
When I think about all the time I spend blogging I do wonder what I actually used to do with myself. Was I a plant? There are other things I enjoy doing outside.. But there still must be a big part of my time that was once spent reading the Daily Mail (forgive me) way too often and watching Keeping Up With The Kardashians more than I should have.
I could think of a fair few more but as I said, I'm an over thinker ha. I'm hoping these are relatable and not me that's just a big worry pants/stress pot. Feel free to pop the thaaangs you're always thinking about in relation to blogging below, I larrrrve reading the comments on these posts.. Always a good giggle!
