I was browsing the internet looking at other blogs for ideas/inspiration when I realize that I didn’t have a post on why I started this site in the first place.
I actually started blogging in 2016 under http://www.aliehstyles.com and quit after a couple of months mainly because I wasn’t getting the feedback and response that I wanted. This was a blunder on my end because I was just looking at the short term effects and failed to focus on why I was doing it in the first place. This is very common among creators, we give up very easily because we don’t believe in ourselves and lack patience.
So why did I come back……….
First of all when you have a passion for something and want to achieve a certain goal, the feeling doesn’t just go away. It haunts you like a ghost until you either act on it or live in regret. I chose the former.
I have always been good at and had a passion for Fashion/Style. People normally notice what I’m wearing before anything else when they first meet me. I’ve been told that I always look like I’m walking down a runway. When I started, I needed a platform to share what I was creating with the hope of making it in the industry one day and turning my side hustle into my main hustle. To me blogging is my foot in the door.
Another reason, was I love to write and I find my voice in my writings. If you have a creative mind like mine that’s always busy, you need somewhere to relieve those thoughts which again let me to blogging. I was originally going to focus only fashion but I went another route because there are so many other things that I care about. Also, the response I have gotten so far especially from my lifestyle and activism posts have been encouraging. These are the things which keep me going.
