My main goal or motto that I strive to live by is to do what makes me happy. I spent years of my life not doing things that made me happy simply because I thought other people would think I was weird. I love singing in choirs and classical music and have done since I was maybe eight, but I never used to tell people because I was embarrassed. Now I have learnt that people really don't care what your hobbies are or what you do as long as you're happy and aren't hurting anybody. In fact, people are genuinely quite interested if you have a not so average hobby! Fast forward ten years, I am so happy to finally do what I want without caring about if people like it or not.

The same comes for the 'blogging world'. I have noticed that some people post about things they think people will like or follow as opposed to what they want to post or write. I just really enjoy sharing what makes me happy and if nobody reads it, likes my photo or follows me, then that's okay. If you want to write about your favourite shade of eyeshadow, good for you. If I want to write about my favourite type of washing up liquid, good for me (although thankfully I am not THAT boring yet....).
After years being a self concious teenager, it feels so great to do what makes me happy and not feel embarrassed about it. I was speaking to a very good friend of mine recently about this and how we really enjoy being confident enough in ourselves to do whatever makes us happy.
If you have a blog and find yourself writing about things you're really not passionate about, try writing about things that matter to you and you'll probably find it a lot more enjoyable to write. Do what makes you happy :)
