When people ask me what I do for work, I definitely struggle to give them a proper answer. I never really know what to tell them; telling them that I'm a blogger never seems to suffice because no on really knows what that means. Telling them I'm a writer technically isn't lying, but I would never share that with people. And nothing else really covers it. So I usually start with I write stuff online and then explain from there. 

I'm an oversharer when it comes to blogging. I've written some things that I'm not proud about sharing, but never removed them because, well, if I'm honest, they have been some of my most popular posts. People enjoy hearing about other people's misery. It's just a fact of life. I get it. We find comfort in watching sad movies and crying over sad songs. I find it quite interesting to read back through my old posts and see how much I have changed. Not only as a person but even in my style of writing.

Being a blogger is a weird job. I don't have set hours, I don't have a set income, and people don't think you do anything. It's hard to complain about work when no one actually understands what it is or how many hours are put into it.

I easily spend 15 hours of my day doing 'blog related things'. Whether that be taking phone calls, replying to emails, writing guest posts for other people's blogs or writing and editing my own posts. I have to be available to take calls and answer emails 24/7...

That's why I have something I need to share with you all. I have decided that (after this week) I will be cutting down the professionalism of this blog. I have decided that blogging on my own and not under the guidance of a company that I will be a lot happier and be able to focus not only on my university degree but also on my friends. For the sake of my mental health, I need to go back to blogging as I used to. This doesn't really mean much for you guys; I will still be uploading Monday, Thursday and Saturday as normal but I will be able to freely write about what I want to write about.

So basically, I'm a professional oversharer; an internet writer. And I am so grateful for the opportunities that you guys have given me over the past few years by supporting my blog.

much love,
