All Summer '18
I’ve fallen into a bit of a writing rut. It’s silly really but I overheard someone at work say “well, blogs are just so dead” and I thought to myself “oh, she must be right.” Let me explain. I work with a bunch of super trendy, socially-aware, creative people so I’ve kind of convinced myself to take their opinions as absolute truth. It’s of note that a week later I overheard that same someone mention she needed to update her own blog, so I guess I should’ve known better than to push Picking Crowns to the back burner so quickly.
Writing here was a real morale booster for me this past year. When I felt I had nowhere else to just fully and unabashedly vent I’d turn here before anyone even knew this space existed. And I’m sure only two people really read along – one of which is boyfriend (even my Grandma unsubscribed from my email alerts). And it’s true that sometimes I get a little embarrassed, like people may think I’m trying too hard or think that I’m this super millennial aspiring influencer type – which I’m not, at least no more than the average 21-year-old who would love to get flown out to #RevovleAroundTheWorld and get sent free stuff from La Mer. That’s a literal dream. But no, I’m just Nadia and my life gets a little hectic sometimes and I’m a memory pack rat for real so I find it necessary to jot everything down in these posts – it’s cathartic and necessary, really.
So, when my friend texted me today asking when I’d publish my next post I thought, “oh, maybe blogs aren’t as dead as I thought” - or at least not my blog to this one particular friend, which is more than enough.
With that being said, gear up for new posts all Summer '18.
