I feel lost

I feel lost (on this blog). Do other bloggers ever feel this way?

I currently feel like I have no direction, like I have no plan for this website. I don’t know where I want it to go. It’s a personal blog where I talk about my interests and sometimes do interviews. However, I feel like everything on here has been repetitive lately, as I am only passionate about a few things: Bulls, DC Comics, and most importantly my family. I also do the same thing every day: get ready for work, eat, wake up Baby O, drive him to my moms, get on the train, go to work, and then the same thing but in reverse. It stinks because then I don’t have much to talk about when it comes to my day or what I’m thinking about (because my brain is fried by the end of it). 

I’m not sure what to do with my interviews. This is just a hobby after all, so I don’t want to be pushy with people. I’ve asked many people if they would be interested, and some have said yes, but then I haven’t heard from them in months. I could reach out, but like I said I’m not going to be pushy about something my family doesn’t depend on for income. Plus, I understand if they’ve changed their minds or are hesitant. It’s not easy putting yourself out there and talking about yourself. 

I also don’t have a lot of time to do interviews. I work, take care of my family, eat, sometimes workout, and sleep. I just don’t know what I want to do about that part of my blog. I guess I can just leave it on my site and if I do anymore then great, if not then that’s okay too. 

I should say…I am not shutting down the blog. I love the WordPress, the community, and I enjoy blogging. I guess you could say I am just discouraged at the moment. Am I putting too much pressure on myself? Maybe. I just want to provide a good, fun website for my readers. I also want to have fun with it myself and not force out low-quality posts. I don’t know, maybe I am burnt out and need a break. Or maybe I should take more time with some of my posts and put a lot of thought and passion into them. 

I have a lot of stories I could tell I just don’t know how to tell them. How to write them in an entertaining manner. I want to tell them properly, so my readers can feel what I’m feeling in them. As you probably know, I’m not the greatest writer. I’m not great with grammar most of the time, my punctuation can be off, and I don’t practice my writing as consistently as I should. Maybe I should take a writing course. I don’t know, like I said, I don’t know what I want to do with this blog.

Again, it’s not going anywhere and neither am I. Something does need to change though. I’m not sure what it is, but when I figure it out I’m sure you will notice lol. Have a great weekend!

  1. It’s a blog, it doesn’t need direction, unless it’s one of those specialized sites that are built like portfolios. I write whatever makes me happy and the planet can read, or not 🙂

    1. Hey! Thanks for reading and commenting, I appreciate it! And you are definitely not alone. It’s tough out here on the internet, but like the readers/commenters said, just have fun. We do it mostly because we enjoy it and that’s what’s important. I’m still working on not pressuring myself as much and I’ve changed a few things up in order to take pressure off. You’ll come out of whatever is weighing you down!
