Tuesday Tea: A Year Of Reviving My Blog

Exactly one year ago, on 1st July 2024, I did that thing I’ve done countless times before: I decided to revive my dead blog.

At this point, my blog has been resurrected more times than Frankenstein and honestly, I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve said, “Okay, this time I’m really going to commit.” But guess what? This time… I did.

From July 1st, 2024 until today without missing a single day, I’ve been posting daily. That’s 365 blog posts, y’all. Three hundred and sixty-five. No breaks. No excuses. Just me, my thoughts, and a whole lot of Google Docs.

Blogging Became My Therapy

What started as just “let me try blogging again” turned into a full-blown self-care routine.

Surprisingly, the simple act of planning my blog content helped me clear my head. It gave me something to focus on outside of the usual chaos of life. The stress, the unnecessary drama, the spiral of overthinking, blogging became my way of escaping all that.

It grounded me.

It distracted me (in the best way).

And most importantly, it reminded me that I still love creating.

It’s More Than Just a Blog, It’s a Journal

Even though this revival wasn’t super personal at first (I kept the focus on series, reviews, reflections, etc.), I’ve come to realize that this blog is slowly turning into my digital time capsule. And maybe it should.

Because one day, I want to be able to scroll back and see:

• what I was feeling,

• what I was watching,

• what I was writing about,

• what I was stressed over,

• and how I grew from all of it.

I want to read back and say, “Wow, I really was that silly” or “Oof, that was such a me thing to say.” There’s beauty in documenting even the messiest moments because it means I’m living, evolving, and learning.

So maybe moving forward, I’ll start to open up more again. Let my blog become a bit more personal. Because at the end of the day, whether people read it or not, this space is for me.

Here's to Year Two 🥂

I don’t know what the next year will bring, but I do know this:

I’m proud of myself.

For showing up, every single day.

For sticking to something that once felt impossible to maintain.

For choosing this blog over and over again.

So here’s to another year of writing, ranting, reviewing, reminiscing… and everything in between. 💻✨

If you’ve been reading along this past year, thank you. And if you’re new here, welcome! You’ve arrived right on time.
