I used to type out life updates on here all the time.. but then I started working on growing my YouTube channel and started doing that in my vlogs.. sort of.. but now.. I dunno.. I really miss typing.

You guys, I’m at a crossroads. I can see everything I want to be, and I’m halfway there.. but I’m scared.

It might all sound dumb, but I really want a blog. I know they’re not cool or whatever and no one reads them but I just don’t like that I live online, spread across a few different social media platforms that could disappear at any moment.

My goal, is to have a blog that has different sections, one for lifestyle tutorials (cooking, DIYs, fashion etc), one for life updates and one for my music. I knew it would take me a long time to save enough money to buy all of the equipment I need for music, but I only have one thing left to buy now! It’s taken a year which is waaaay faster than I thought it would take me

(I don’t really like talking about money.. but I’m a housewife, I don’t work and lots of people IRL think I’m spoiled rotten and my fiance buys me anything I want but a few years ago I took over our finances and we both have savings accounts that are automatically transferred $100 each week, that’s our individual spending money and I’ve been saving up that to buy my instruments)

The only thing I didn’t buy was my keyboard, that was a birthday present.

I wish to have my space set up so that I don’t have to move furniture or pull equipment out of storage.

This has been the longest I’ve ever stuck with something. When I decided that I wanted to make videos two years ago I knew it would take a really long time to get good at it (I’m still not quite there but soon :p) and I knew that it would take a long time to buy everything I needed and learn the new skills etc. Then when I added in music to the mix last year I was really excited to have found something I’m actually good at but also terrified because of how much LONGER it would now take to get everything...

but still.. here I am.. one piece left to buy. That final piece only costs $200, sure I still need to wait for the basement reno to be finished before the recording studio gets it’s permanent home but that could be sometime this year.

This is the year I turn 30, and also the year that I finish steps I’ve been working towards for years.
