Why I Haven't Blogged In A Year


So why haven't I blogged in a year? I'm guessing most of you must of thought, that's it Laura's lost her spark in blogging or has quit. The trouble is, that couldn't be further from the truth. I've honestly missed sitting with my laptop been able to write about things I absolutely love. It's a huge hobby of mine. When you set a time to publish it and it goes live, there's a lovely feeling about it. It actually feels good to do this. Although it's also really hard to put into words why I haven't blogged. 




I have still been here. I have been on social media uploading still. Maybe not as much as I would like. Go follow me on instagram I'm mostly on there all the time. 

It's been a real journey this year for me as I have been finding out a lot about my self. Maybe some good and maybe some bad however I know with my self I always look at the positives in life. I have learnt a lot this year. 



So at the beginning of the year, I sadly lost a really close family member of mine. My Grandma. She was a rock and she was mine and many others hero. She was certainly someone a lot of people looked up too. She would welcome people with open arms. She had a heart of gold. One thing my Grandma did do is she definitely taught me a huge amount of things in life. One thing that would always stay with me, she always used to say  "It's always nice to be nice". She certainly wasn't wrong. 
Kindness is everything.

After my Grandma I needed time to my self and to be able to take in what had just happened. So I decided to take some time for my self, so I also came offline. I went to write a blog post however I just wasn't up for it. It was a bit too soon. I gave my self some more time. 

Few months later I had discovered I haven't been feeling my self. It sounds so strange I know however I decided to tell my closest. My mental health was taking a little battering however I pushed through and spoke to my family about it. I won't go into much detail as it's personal however one thing I would say is always talk. I can confirm I am in a much better place now as I have taken time for my self and spoke to people about it. 



There's a few things I learnt this year with taking time off blogging. 

Kindness is everything - It's nice to be nice.
Take time for your self.
They're is always people out there who will listen, they won't know if you don't talk. 

I have read some great books this year and I want to share them with you. I think I will do a separate blog post on the books I have been loving. 

I am not going to push my self and say I will be doing blog posts every week. I will be doing them as much as I can though until I get my self into a routine again. I'm super happy about this and also very excited to get going again as this is my time and my little space on the internet. I love it. Thank you so much for all your patients, I'll be back very soon.

Have a lovely day.
