How much thought and energy have I put into what I wear lately? Zilch plus the tiniest effort to make sure what I put on is clean.
Cate and I are hardly posting. I asked myself the question why. I think it is because I don’t know how to write anything interesting about what seems to now be the least interesting part of my life. So now I am struck with the choice to continue writing this blog, but write it mostly just about my life, or, posting extremely infrequently on the off occasion I feel interested in clothes.
Here is the problem I am facing on several levels of my life, this blog being the microcosm of all of them. If this is going to stay interesting, I have to get more vulnerable. I have to write about things that I don’t know if anyone wants to read about. My clothes are more boring, but my life is much more interesting than it was when I started this project a year ago. What if ya’ll only liked it when it was a fun little blog about clothes and closets and spirituality? Keeping it interesting and exciting means continuing to lean in and let new things begin to take shape and emerge.
But with this blog, as with life, I often spend more of my time trying to ascertain the edges of where I am allowed to go, where I ought to go, and where I want to go, then just going! One thing is for certain, if I don’t go, everything stops and I don’t think I want that to happen, certainly not with this blog.
Hope to have some interesting stories for you soon.
I think you should keep writing – about life, personal stories, awkwardness, hilarity, clothes, opinions, failures, events, pictures, etc. I love your concepts of living with less (and have purged more than once because of you two), and encourage you to live – and write – outside of the box!
Thanks! Your encouragement means a lot to me. I definitely feel like I’m on the brink of getting vulnerable with ya’ll and it’s a bit scary!
