Blogging Should NOT be this Stresful

It’s been a while since I’ve posted on here and I realized its because I’ve been taking this way too seriously. I’m an academic, I’m literally a teacher, and I started blogging years ago as a way to write in a more releaxed way. But I’m starting to realize that I’ve been treating my blogs like school assignments. So instead of being relaxing, I’m constantly stressed out and worried about getting a poor grade. Blogging should NOT be this stressful! Before 2026 comes in hot, I want to come on here and remind myself (and the world) that my blogs are MINE. I created them to share my thoughts, ideas, and passions with the world and I’m officially allowing myself to do that. I will be embracing the occasional typos, poor grammar, and crappy sentence structure. I won’t stress out about posting often, but rather posting when the inspiration strikes (with or without photos). This is a long time coming but better late than never, right?

That being said, I’m typing this on my lunch break with just a day and half left of school before break. I am surrounded by cardboard “Gingerbread” houses and the smell of acrylic paint. I am at excited for the upcoming winter break so I can craft and make my own art again. I have so many ideas in my head that I want to put on paper and I’ll finally have some time to do it.

If I don’t post again until 2026, I wish you the happiest of holidays and cheers to the new year!
