WELL, HERE I SIT, ANOTHER SEASON PASSED, AND TIME FOR MY "INNER-CONFLICT-SOUL-SEARCHING-WHAT-THE-HELL-IS-IT-ALL-ABOUT AND WHAT-CAN-I DO-TO-BE-A-BETTER-HUMAN" SEASONAL TURMOIL.
I STARTED THIS BLOG,
AS MOST OF YOU KNOW,
(IF NOT, HERE'S THE SKINNY)
AS A WAY TO REGAIN SOME SENSE OF PURPOSE. IT WAS A TIME OF THE USUAL CONFLICTS THAT SNEAK UP ON US "40 SOMETHINGS"...
NEEDING A MAJOR LIFE RENOVATION...
A SOUL COLONIC, IF YOU WILL...
I KNEW I LOVED PHOTOGRAPHY
AND SEE FASHION AS ANOTHER FORM OF ART.
I KNEW THIS WOULD BE A GREAT VENUE TO START.
TWO LOVES ROLLED INTO ONE...
BUT, LATELY, I AM FEELING A BIT ON THE "EMPTY" SIDE. DON'T GET ME WRONG, I LOOOOVE TAKING PHOTOS, I HAVE ABOUT 40 OUTFITS READY TO BE PHOTOGRAPHED. I HAVE THE PROPER "BLOG POSES" DOWN PAT. I LOVE AND APPRECIATE EACH AND EVERY PERSON WHO POPS BY TO SAY HI. BUT SOMETIMES I WISH I COULD ACTUALLY SIT DOWN WITH YOU, AND NOT WORRY ABOUT THE LATEST "APP" I MUST HAVE TO GROW AND SHARE MY PASSION WITH YOU AND OTHERS ....
I SUPPOSE THAT IS THE NATURE OF THINGS.
CHANGE IS THE ONLY CONSTANT.....
SO, NOW THE INNER "CONFLICT" IS BEING RETHOUGHT.
HOW DOES ONE TAKE THEMSELVES TO THE NEXT LEVEL?
AS A HUMAN BEING-
NOT IN THE ALTERNATE UNIVERSE I LOVINGLY CALL BLOGDONIA...
ALTHOUGH, THAT'S WHERE WE HAPPEN TO HAVE MET ;)
I AM SEEING A 'TREND' EVOLVING ALL OVER THE BLOG WORLD LATELY.
SOME BLOGGERS GIVING IT UP ALTOGETHER. MANY RE-THINKING THEIR ROLES AS FASHION BLOGGERS. TWEAKING THEIR BLOGS AND SOMETIMES TAKING THEM IN A NEW DIRECTION ALTOGETHER. MAYBE THIS IS AN INEVITABLE CHANGE. AN EVOLUTION OF SORTS. I'M NOT SURE. I DO BELIEVE THAT WE OWE IT TO OURSELVES TO "CHECK IN" WITH OUR INTENTIONS EVERY SO OFTEN. I KNOW MAYBE THAT'S ALL IT IS, MAYBE NOT.
I WONDER IF THERE IS A NEW "APP"
FOR SOUL SEARCHING,
LIKE "WWW.DOTHISNEXT.COM" OR "TWEET ME, I'LL GIVE YOU FOCUS".....
WHAT I DO KNOW:
ART IS CRUCIAL FOR GROWTH AND FASHION IS ANOTHER FORM OF ART.
I DO KNOW I'M READY TO DO MORE THAN JUST "SHOW UP",
TAKING UP PRECIOUS SPACE AND OXYGEN-
BUT BEYOND THAT, I'M NOT SURE.
SO FOR NOW, I WILL KEEP SHOWING UP,
LISTENING AND LOOKING FOR THE SUBTLE 'CLUES' THAT WILL LEAD ME FORWARD TO THE FULFILLMENT I TRULY SEEK ;)
OH YEAH, AND BUY PRE-LOVED CLOTHING ;)
IS ANYONE ELSE FEELING A BIT OF PERSPECTIVE ANALYZING AS WELL ?
