Shut up and listen to me.
I've been feeling a bit blue these past couple of weeks, hence why I haven't really been that social and active on this site. Part of my brain wants to quit and another part of me, mostly my heart wants to keep going because I love my job.
when you say you're a blogger people don't really take it seriously, they think you just type a load of shit and send it out to the internet. But it's so much harder than that.
Firstly you have to come up with a idea, one which will attract people and make your followers want to stay and not leave. That's the hardest part.. One of the hardest parts of this job. You also have to check multiple times that what you're about to blog about isn't someone elses idea, obviously everyone's blogged about the collection concealer but you have to be careful not to copy. Because bloggers are bitchy and they hate it when someone copies their idea, so don't.
Then you have to type it, write it and then delete it because you're just not feeling it any more. You've sat at this piece of words for that long that you don't even know what you're on about. For everyone who knows me, you'd know that I also work part time and go to college and try to have a social life outside Skype dates and WhatsApp groups. It's hard to type a weeks worth of blog ideas and do life and not get stressed.
After all that comes my favourite bit, when the blog goes live and you've now lost total control of your feelings and views of everything. People will criticize you. My blog post about have 2 friends (which has now went up by 3 people, I know, go Anna) got torn to pieces by immature people with nothing else to do with their lives. The thing is with criticism is that people won't ever say anything to your face, because they are cowards and horrible people who try and bring you down. But, I have Unicorns so I'm always going to be better than them.
I've never kept it a secret that I earn money from this blog, to be fair if it wasn't because of this blog and you guys reading it I couldn't afford my car or anything nice in my life. People don't see all the emails, meetings, conference calls and groups you have to attend and send to earn money. When I first set this blog I never expected me to earn enough money to by Lush every week or to buy my boyfriend so, so many Mcdonalds that I'm wondering if we can get sponsored by them.
Blogging isn't easy, a cheap way to make cash or a quick way to meet Zoella. So next time you're abut to blast me for a spelling mistake, tell me off because I'm late at uploading... Please go away and never return to this blog again. I'll hold my hands up and say I've lost motivation, I've gotten lazy and sometimes I just want to have cuddle and watch a movie rather than edit a post.
But blogging is so rewarding, it's honestly the best job you can do.
Happy thoughts people, always happy thoughts!
