Well, hello there beautiful! Welcome or welcome back to my blog. My name is Sarah and today I am going to be discussing where the hell I’ve been!
Listen, I know that I have been gone for a hot minute (exactly four months) but I am back and I’m so sorry that I left so abruptly with no explanation.
I really want to be as transparent as possible. You guys are my friends and I don’t want to keep any secrets and I felt like it was just wrong to pop back up without no explanation so let’s talk about it…..
To be quite honest, the ending of 2020 was very hard for me. I have never experienced depression and lack of motivation like this ever before.
I am diagnosed with seasonal depression, so I usually get depressed during the winter times but this time it was the worst it has ever been. I didn’t really want to talk about it on my blog because I tried to make this place a happy zone, but I was really struggling behind the screen.
Depression is something that I’ve had since I was 12 and I’ve been dealing with it and I have never seen a therapist before properly because it had never gotten as bad that I felt like I had to. Which is my fault I should know that you don’t have to be at your worst to see a therapist.
I definitely realized that quarantine and the Pandemic and seeing so many lives taken away was a contribution to my depression. I mean I had nowhere to go, nothing to distract myself and my school was online.
I felt like I was missing out on life. It sounds so dumb, but I really felt like my life was going so fast and I wasn’t doing anything. I tried to hide it and just focus on school and work but the thing about depression is that the more you suppress it the worse it gets.
I definitely started noticing that my temper was out of control, I struggle to get out of bed to even start my day and I was taking like 3 naps a day. There were even times where I would wake up at 9:00 am and then sleep until 12:00 AM, wake up and eat for about an hour and then go back to sleep and repeat. So yeah, I was really going through it.
so I decided to take some time off and focus on myself I’m getting better I started talking to someone about my depression and mental health and I really urge every single person to see a therapist or if they can’t see a therapist just to talk to someone that they trust about their issues because it made me feel so much better about the situation and you don’t only need to be depressed and at your worst to see a therapist you can see them when you’re OK but just someone to talk to.
while I was gone I kind of had a whole self-reevaluation of my blog. I realized that I wasn’t happy with it at all and if you’ve noticed I changed my website theme. My other one was quite simple but this one is a little bit more advanced though I am still making changes.
I also wanted to change my content. When I started my blog, I wanted to be a lifestyle, beauty and fashion Blogger but I felt like I really stuck to the lifestyle part only and I didn’t really jump into the beauty and fashion part but that is what I love!
So I decided to focus a lot on my content, there is going to be a lot more beauty and fashion post coming up and I hope you guys are OK with the new change. I love beauty and fashion and I really want to share the knowledge that I have with you guys but don’t worry they’re still going to be a lifestyle posts but not for a while.
I really want to build the fashion and beauty sections of my blog and then we can get back into lifestyle.
I’ve also created an uploaded schedule so from the 1st of March 2021, I will upload every single Mondays at 6:00 PM GMT so definitely tune in for a new blog post then and also definitely subscribe if you’re not already so that it come straight to your mailbox every week.
I’ve also been thinking a lot about doing a giveaway, but I don’t know if you guys would be interested in participating? If you are, please comment down below what types of things I should put in the giveaway. I want to do a mix and match for example, some beauty maybe a fashion gift card all in a hamper. I don’t really know and I’m still thinking about it but please give me some ideas down below.
But yeah, that is everything that I wanted to talk about. I’m so thankful for all of you guys that supported me during this time and I’m really excited to be back. My next blog post goes live tomorrow at 6:00 PM so I hope you guys are ready for that (it’s a good one) and I will see you then.
xoxo
