HEY, STILL HERE

Hey guys. I know it's only been a couple weeks since my last entry -- and a whole year since a proper one in that matter, but I just wanted to let you guys know that I'm still around (and wanting to blog).

Though this isn't the longest I've gone without updating any of you (flashbacks to when I kept switching domains, sigh), it feels like much much longer than a couple weeks. I know I've been sort of M.I.A. lately -- or more of missing in my thoughts, actually -- but I guess I've just been rather distant with you guys. Thank you to all those who took the time to email me and ask me how I've been doing (and the emails regarding my store update - I hear you!), and to those who continue to check up/support me through all the comments or messages. Although I haven't truly been there, either on my Instagram, or Carded Out, all of you have really overwhelmed me with your love, and care. It really means the world.

Long intro aside, I recently came to an introspective conclusion that the reason I have not really been feeling it for any of my prior commitments, was just that I had been putting too much pressure on everything. I have so many expectations for myself -- not just to continuously produce wonderful square-shaped photos for you guys, but also making sure my blog (and store) is at the greatest potential it could possibly be. I hate to disappoint myself, nevertheless, you, and so I believe you could say I've been feeling rather flustered, and discouraged/unmotivated. I'm aware that there are a bunch of you angels out there who wish to never make me feel burdened, or unhappy, but I suppose it is just my own fear in disappointing you guys. Both losing, and gaining support makes me anxious; I'm worried I won't meet your expectations, and I fear I've lost the standard. It's honestly nerve wracking.

However, it is 2015. And with the new year, comes this whole New Year New Me bullshit that I dare say we all, in some way or another, try to abide to (at least for a little while). I am still working on that Bali Photo Diary I promised, and it's close to being done (trying to gather all the photos + organizing them chronologically is actually such a pain), but I'm genuinely excited for y'all to see that one soon. Got lot's to look forward to (more fashion posts, I swear! + a little bit of adventuring for both our souls).

Anyways, just to check in a lil' bit with you guys here. More to come in the new year I hope. More to come in the new year, I'm sure of it.

May 2015 be filled with motivation, passion, and a whole lot of beautiful photos.

See you soon babe.
