This was a long week and I'm happy for the weekend. I'm also happy because it'll be the last full week of work for the summer! Summer Fridays start next week and I'm really excited for the extra time to focus on myself.
Work has been so busy the past few months and I'm enjoying myself so much so it's been really hard to find a good work life balance. I'm exhausted at the end of the day, I'm exhausted at the end of the week and it's hard to find the motivation to work on the things that I love.
I've felt so unlike myself lately; I haven't been anxious or depressed but more apathetic towards things that used to make me really happy. I haven't been inspired to make content or to write, to work on my books or really to even read. I don't think I've ever really felt like that in 10 years of creating on the internet. It's really upsetting.
I think this mostly started when my Instagram account got disabled in March. I had almost 3,000 followers and to go from that to not even 200 is really hard. I felt like I was finally making strides in my creator career but to have one of the most important platforms be taken from you, it's disheartening. I know I still have my blog and my other channels, which honestly do so much better than Instagram anyway but it hurts, in a weird way.
At the end of every week I keep saying that this weekend will be the one where I get my mojo back; where I sit down, create, pitch and post but every weekend pasts and I can't seem to get out of my own head.
I'm hoping that the good weather, the fact that summer is coming up and that my social life is mine again will help pull me out of this creative rut.
Thank you for listening to me rant; let's get into the post!
Pink Positivity of the Week
I went to work three times this week (!!!) which is a big accomplishment for me, as silly as that sounds. I've done it before but I did it with no anxiety or dread. It just felt normal which I think is really great and I was proud of myself.
Another huge highlight was the finale of Vanderpump Rules. Scandoval has been happening for two months and we're nearing the end of the ride, and my goodness is it thrilling. I love Bravo so much.
