All Sorts Of Updates

A couple of months ago, I questioned... well I questioned a lot of things. Things have been all over the place for me, and I'm still figuring out the next step I should take.

For one, I started a new blog. I've been thinking about it for a while. I've had this blog for over three years now, and I've learned so much, but I've been wanting to take blogging one step further. For a while I felt like this blog has gotten a little stale, and I couldn't seem to work up the confidence to post about different things because I wanted my content to be consistent. After I moved across the country, the blog seemed to take a dive, even though I tried so hard to keep up with it, it just wasn't working. I just wasn't in the right state of mind.

Anyway, fast forward - I wanted to start diving into things I couldn't bring myself to do on this blog. I don't consider myself a writer or photographer, but I want to explore those areas more. I want to play around with self portraits, and even revisit old projects I've shared on here and have a second go at them. I want to use gifs and maybe even make some videos in the future. And I want my friends to guest post as well. I didn't want to start using all those on here out of the blue. I needed a fresh start, and I feel like I can use my voice on there more, which makes it kinda freeing to not hold back. I don't have a plan for either blogs, but it's becoming my main place to post. I do plan on keeping this blog and just post a lot less, but I'll keep it around for personal projects I don't want to share on the new blog.

I'm also kind of excited to have a .com and try out Wordpress to switch things up a bit.
So if you're interested, the new blog is over at oddballera.com. It's fun and different and I'm excited to see where it goes.

Aside from that, I've been busy with classes, job searching, revamping all my portfolios and planning for a strong possibility of going out of the country for a few months depending on how that job search plays out.

Surprisingly, I'm still also trying to find the time and motivation to finish unpacking. I don't have that much left, it's just the issue of organization.
This year has been flying by and I haven't quite been able to take control of my days to be fully productive, but now with an extra hour of daylight, and warmer weather creeping in, I'm going to try my best to stay positive and keep productive.

Guess we'll see what happens!
