The Road from Confused to Amazing…

So I went radio silent again.  Eh it happens.  I’m a Gemini…I’ve got moods.  Don’t judge me.

Anyhow I think I haven’t been writing because I am not really sure what I want to write about.  Or it’s cause I am a crazy Gemini.  I feel like I need a schtick.  Sure I can write about the foolishness that is going on today *insert super easy joke about Chad and Evelyn here* Or I could talk about my hair but how many more natural hair blogs can we possibly have?  I could talk about fashion aka my shopping diseases but I just think that will make me more of a shopping fiend.  I could talk about my weight loss journey and food and exercise and all of that but again I ask how many more versions of the same thing can we have?

And that’s why for the past 2 months I have been sitting here thinking:  What is going to make me relevant?  Or what’s going to make people come back to read what I have to write about?

Soooo…I’ve recently been watching what I am calling the best show on television, Newsroom (sundays on HBO, if you aren’t watching you are missing something amazing).  The reason I love the show is for it’s realness, no matter the topic, and the passion at which the characthers live and work.  And in thinking about Newsroom a lightbulb went off in my head!

That’s me!  That’s how I can be relevant.  I’m real and passionate and not about ONE thing but about a whole slew of things!  It’s what makes me me!  So why can’t that be my schtick?  Why can’t I just blog about what I FEEL like blogging about?  I think the people will follow me no matter what and if they don’t, I’d argue that they would be missing out on something amazing (self plug).

What do you guys think?

  1. I completely agree GP! You have a knack for making even the most boring thing humorous. And that’s why people will be compelled to follow your blog. So, don’t over-think it. Just do what comes naturally to you, and you’ll be fine.
