Oh my gosh! I don't even know how long it's been since the last time I posted on CraftyMeccaMonster! I've been inspired to get back into blogging because I realized that in the time I haven't been posting, my imagination hasn't been running as wild as I wish it could be, and I feel compelled to change that.
My whole life I've been told I'm a good writer and have been praised for my creativity, but as of recently, my lack of creativity has really put me down and had me thinking: why did I stop working on CMM? I truly couldn't seem to answer this question no matter how hard I tried, and the constant nagging of my mother didn't seem to help. With time I realized that I really had no good excuse to not post and that I needed to figure out how to change things.
I'm going to start off with my obsession with Youtube. This tends to be a serious problem in my life because I am constantly watching videos, regardless of their relativity to my life, causing me to procrastinate on my school work and home life. I know, however, that I couldn't just cut Youtube out, because for my generation, it acts as a vital learning tool, but also a drug. My mom tells me it's cutting off my flow of imagination, and in a way I think she's right. I do think that seeing other people do things rather than doing them myself is wasting my time, but I also believe that if you simply filter and limit what you watch, it can really benefit you.
With this in mind, I have started watching certain channels and always ask myself: what will I get out of watching this video? I noticed this really helps me and hope that maybe through sharing this information, it will help you, too : )
Mom, if you're reading this, I want you to realize that not everything I'm doing is benefiting me, but I'm trying, I really am. If any of you watch my Youtube, you may see some activity on there (for the first time in forever), as in I will be working to make it more decorated and welcoming. Hopefully, I will be able to list some of the people I get my inspiration from and will be able to post more once I get into the gist of school.
I hope you enjoyed reading this and hopefully got at least one thing out of it. I am in the process of brainstorming some post ideas and trying to come up with a reasonable post schedule, but of course I also wish to work a bit on my Youtube channel (and maybe Facebook page) as well. There most likely won't be many long, story-like posts like this in the future, but if you did enjoy it, certainly go ahead and leave a like on my Facebook page (you'll find the link on my site's home page) or comment any requests you have for future posts! Thanks again!
