Fresh to Death

10.5.14



























I try too hard and when I try too hard, I discourage myself from being myself.

Before I begin to explain as to why every post I have ever published on my blog has vanished, I would like to thank the beautiful Sam and Meg ever so sincerely for helping me ground myself in a way I don’t think I could have on my own.

I have been feeling disheartened and dispirited with my blog for some time now. I always felt I needed to please everyone but myself and through doing so, I dismissed my own feelings and thoughts entirely in terms of my blog, hence why I’ve felt the way I have. My blog didn’t portray my personality as I would have liked it to anymore, and the other day, I was really, really over feeling the way I did.

After bothering both Sam and Meg, through seeking advice, I finally came to the conclusion that I would start brand new. Fresh to death.

I don’t regret it. In fact, I feel great.

And let's admit it - I'm a perfectionist.

Lastly, I would like to thank my beautiful sister for modelling for me for the first shot! What a beauty.

  3. Awesome and truly inspiring. It is so easy to get sucked into what is considered the "right" way to blog and a shame when we lose ourselves over all that. I know I am guilty of it :) Thanks for sharing and good luck!

  7. Jes, can I just say I love you so dearly?
    I'm so happy you feel good about this! It's all about self expression and if you needed a fresh start then this is so right! And after all this nothing more or less than what you make it.

    The blog is looking beautiful, and I am excited to see how it goes. And although I am sure I would have loved a new name I really do love naturally jes :) xx

  8. I hardly would've differentiated you and your sister apart! You two look remarkably alike. :)
    And personally, I've felt that every post you've ever published in the past is great. It's a shame to see them gone. But since you do feel like they didn't accurately portray who you were, then I am more than happy to welcome the new change. If a blank slate is what you need, so be it. We'll all be here supporting your decisions.
    Just promise to never stop blogging! It's been wonderful having you on here, Jes. I hope the blogging dilemma gets better. :)
