I'm back, bitches!

Trying to give this blog some life again after being gone for quit a while.

There must be a lot of you who forgot I had this blog, hell even I forgot for a moment. But I want to try again (third time's a charm right?) to really put some more effort into writing on the blog!

I feel like I should start all over again for the new people here that don't know me. There are a lot of moments where I think I should be writing instead of doing other brain rotting stuff, but never had the courage or I just didn't know where to start. (Which is still the case right now but I just need to start somewhere and we'll see how it goes I guess?)

Recently (during summer) I read that one book from Dolly Alderton; all my friends were telling me, no, Harassing me to read it because they always said it was in the same style how I write my diaries in (yes, sometimes I share what I write because I find it funny myself), and also because it's giving the same vibe in what I want to achieve with this blog. They were basically telling me to read the book to get some inspiration to continue writing. So I had the book lying around at home for like a year or 2 and last summer I finally got to it. And because I was on vacation with my girlfriends I didn't really have a choice to read or do something else.

The funny thing is, when I eventually did read it I had to laugh and wanted to show them why I was laughing and why I thought something was funny. And every time I had the same reaction; "WE KNOW!! We have been telling you for MONTHS that you would enjoy this book!"

Let's just say my friends know me pretty well :)

I was really hoping that me finishing that book would have unlocked something in me.

One, that I would realise that books are not that scary and hard and really enjoyable and better than just dead scrolling on insta or other socials.

And two, that it would give me the inspiration I needed to start writing again. Sadly both didn't really happen. The writing has always been on my mind and I'm often thinking about what my next post should be about, but this is the first time i'm actually going back on my website and I finished the book like 4 months ago? (I never actually finished the book btw, I still have to read the last 5 pages, oops don't tell my friends).

I did read one other book recently, "The love hypothesis", and it was the first time in years that I finished a book in less than a week. I'm feeling really proud about that one. Less proud of what kind of book it is haha, but it is a famous book for a reason ;) Let's just say I'm not doing any of that performative reading, like some of those guys would do to get some girls attention.

At the age of 17 I was this book nerd that was reading 3 books a week. It became a personality trait, teachers were recommending me books that I would maybe enjoy. Little did they know the only books I was reading was the romantic kind. And if I'm being totally honest, the only reason I was reading that many books was because I didn't have any friends the first year at my new school. I had to keep myself busy in some way. But I do wish the reading trait had stayed because as I said before I'm not taking the time to read anymore. The weird thing also is that my mom is a big reader, my parents custom made a library that perfectly fits all her books and all my dad's cd's. So you can already guess we have a big collection at home. But still, I don't think I have read one book from our "at home library"...

The funny thing about all this is that I was texting a boy about the fact that I enjoy writing and that I had this blog that I started a while ago. He asked me more about it but that's when I realised I hadn't been on the blog for a long while and that maybe it was time to start writing again. Not only for you, the dear gentle readers, but also for myself, as it helps to get my thoughts in order (and maybe because I want to feel like I'm in Sex and the city)!

So thank you to this random guy I texted for like maybe 2 days to get me back on track.

What would you like to read in my posts? Random things that happen in my daily life? Just how I would write about it in my diary? Or specific stories? Questions you would like to have answered?

How do you guys see this blog going?

Let me know !

Bisous,
