As I sit here trying to decide what to write for my first post in over almost a year, I feel regret for disowning (I'm not sure if thats the word I want to use) my blog. I've recently realised how much I miss posting what I've found out in life - that being new beauty discoveries or just general lifestyle things. I've lacked a bit of inspiration and motivation and over the *almost* past year I was generally focusing on my final year at University. Now that it's over I've no excuse but to get my blogging bug back hence the re-brand and new look of the layout (which I am loving).
I've just recently returned from a two week holiday (vacation) and while away I found myself reading Zoella's 'Girl Online' novels which have inspired me to get back into blogging. It's so true what she writes about that you can't let things get in the way of finding yourself (as cheesy as it is, the older I've got the more I agree).
I also watched Fleur De Force's recent Q&A where she discussed the topic of YouTube being "over saturated" however she suggested it's a place to express creativity and that it will never be over it's capacity. I think the main pressure with blogging (as well as vlogging) is trying to be different.
It's difficult enough trying to select the best font - verdana, but thats my uni essay font; courier, but that stretches everything out; times, but is that too old fashioned? and don't get me started on font size never mind the actual layout for my blog which is what people first see and make an opinion on.
We are all individuals with different personalities, skills etc. but it is hard to not fall into the crowd. And I can see I am overthinking greatly instead of allowing myself to find my path naturally.
Maybe some of you could help with my font troubles?
- What font do you prefer to write/read in? And is there any different ones you can use instead of the blogger version?
- And what size is best?
Until next time,
attempting again blogger, struggling with fonts.
