I’ve been pondering…
I’ve been thinking on a decision for a little bit now that I wanted to pose to my readers. The older I get and the more I try to learn about myself, the more I reflect on the things in my life. One of the big things that keeps a lot of my mind and attention is this very blog. Or more importantly, blogging and my life in general.
I’ve come to the realization a few month ago that I didn’t want to work anymore. Not traditionally. I no longer wanted to have to take orders from someone else for hours, days, weeks on end. It was one of the biggest reasons I couldn’t join the military (other than my general dislike for militaries in the first place).
While I respect authority, I have never done well living under another’s rule. I don’t like being told what to do. It started with my dad when I was living at home. He’s the big figure head in the household. He made the rules. And when I finally started thinking for myself and becoming more independent, we started fighting a lot more. Butting heads like rams on a cliff face. Once I moved out, things were great again. This continued with bosses that I’ve had in different jobs. The only times I didn’t have this problem was when my work was dictated by myself. Whenever I was in complete control of my workflow and how things got done.
While I know that I can’t just quit my job and start living my life as a blogger right away, I can start. I can start to truly make a name for myself. And it starts off small. Like any big dream, you have to plant the seed and nourish it till it grows big and strong. Manifesting into what you’d always imagined.
That’s where this post comes in. I’ve been thinking about starting a whole new blog. A bright new beginning. I want it connected to an Etsy shop that I’m planning on opening, as well as another online store for my photography products that I would like to start selling. I’ve already got the name picked out and a logo in the final drafting phase.
I’m thinking of a fresh start. A clean slate. Rainbow MoonChylde will always be my heart and soul. This is where all these dreams first manifested. This is where I’ve told countless stories about my life, the good and the bad. But I feel like I’ve been outgrowing her.
I’ve got a bit of time off work coming up very soon that I plan on spending a lot of indoors and working on getting things up and running. I’ll be spending a bit less time here on RMC but I’ll still be here. This will become more of a personal blog, showing updates on my life and on the new blog once it’s up and running. In time, I’ll transition fully to the new space, having a space just for my personal life as well.
I really hope that all of my current readers here on RMC will continue with me to the new site, but I understand if I lose a few. Part of the sacrifice I’ll be making to kick start my dream into a reality. I want all of you to know that it means a lot to me that you’ve been with me through my ups and downs. And I can’t wait to show you the new place. ^_^
Cheers!✌
