Hey guys! Wow! Feels so nostalgic to write to you again! 2017 was a year of learning and discovering. I felt lost, maybe a bit empty trying to find a purpose on a lot of interests which were kind of fading away, as well as my inspirations and aspirations. I thought a lot about my achievements, my likes, my dislikes, what was the way I was seeing my life and way I see it now.
Two and a half years ago I created this blog out of all my inspiration, given by amazing bloggers a vloggers, and that was a pretty happy time to me. But it also had a downside: I started to become a bit more materialistic and it later made me feel like I wasn't putting my priorities in their right places.
My social media started to get recognition and I felt successful, but at the same time posting became sort of an obligation and I felt like I had a role play to keep my viewers, people who supported me, interested. I lost interest on those platforms because I wasn't really getting any source of inspiration, and, as well as my motivation it faded way.
Thinking of my 2017 and on what I want to accomplish on 2018, there's a few things on what I want to have in mind (some I saw on Pinterest and felt very relatable and some are of my creation):
1 Do what you love.
2 If you don't feel like doing it, just don't.
3 Go find some inspiration, everywhere, anytime, thats what keeps you moving and feeling.
4 Don't get overwhelmed over something that you find a hobby, it's a HOBBY its supposed to make you happy and people won't judge you for that.
5 Work hard for what you wanna achieve.
6 The more you procrastinate, the more you'll procrastinate.
7 Don't compare your live to others'. You have no idea what their journey is about.
8 Overprepare, then go with the flow.
9 Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
10 Envy is a waste of time, you already have what you need.
11 The best is yet to come.
12 No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
13 If you don't ask, you don't get.
14 It all starts with you, everything can be solved if you decide to do something about it.
15 Kindness. It makes your heart full, as well as the others'.
Just to conclude, I'm still discovering what I want and what I need, I feel like I'm starting to put my ideas in their right places, so I have no idea what I'll do with this blog, maybe keep it as it is, maybe upgrading it or maybe even posting less until I find out what to do with it. I hope to get myself more inspired, more active and more positive! Let's see how it goes!
Also, took some cute pics on New Years Eve, hope you like it!
All the best,
Vasco
