The never ending rollercoaster known as blogging…
by jason on May.11, 2010, under Musings, Reflection
Blogging, much like nearly every project or hobby I set my hands on, seems to be a roller coaster. I enjoy it, I really do, but it’s so inconstant. In my defense though… who is consistent? Nearly everyone in my follow list starts a blog, makes a big deal about it, makes 3–4 post then nothing for months, comes back eventually, makes a few more post, then nothing again (please don’t take that personally, I do it too!)
I don’t even know what the point of this post is and that’s completely alright with me. As several of my former post illustrate (or at times flat out say), I’m not looking to present top-notch writing, consistency, and heck, I’m really not even writing for anyone but myself. If you happen to enjoy it regardless, then wonderful. There’s been so much on my mind lately. I can’t even think straight. I’m blogging at work and I really don’t feel like I’m wasting time, because if I don’t get something out then I’m just going to be completely and utterly unproductive and useless.
I’m in the middle of buying a house. Which is awesome, but it’s unbelievably stressful. I’m getting married, to a girl who I’ve lived over 2 hours from for almost 6 months now. Weddings… are also quite stressful. I love my job, but at times my job placement and my temperament do not mix well. Most of my close friendships are distant and it’s very difficult for me to start new ones. And completely worst of all, my sense of self-identity is in flux. I’m supposed to be a designer, I’m supposed to be in charge of a website and learning about website, but I’m behind on current technologies and trends and I can hardly even find motivation to catch up.
Hm, well that is slightly less than positive… um, yeah…
