After many years of tinkering with Blogging, Vlogging and alike, it’s time to take the bull by the horns and start to commit more time into explaining my journey. After all, isn’t that what this was supposed to be about? I know I have said this before, but I now have nothing in my way other than my own mental health. So what’s to come?
First of all
I am in the process of developing a WordPress site. While the site will still be under the same domain, I am coming away from GoDaddy’s expensive and unusable platform, and tinkering with WordPress via Ionos. By changing to WordPress, I can promote more functionality control with my site. This will allow for more structured and personalised organisation, while opening up the opportunity to cover more than just prefabricated platforms allow.
To begin, I will be transferring all my past Blogs & accompanying Vlogs from GoDaddy & Blogger to WordPress. Once transferred I will be doing some reflection on the older Blogs & Vlogs, as well as transcribing all video content. During this time I will also be uploading new Blogs, plus shorter updates via the available apps. A lack of easy blog update applications has been one of the greatest stumbling blocks with GoDaddy. Hopefully easy access to WordPress will allow for eventual daily updated micro-Blogs, that I can follow up with periodic reflections.
Secondly
It is time to broaden my content delivery. I have dabbled with Vlogs, tried social media, and attempted to focus solely on my mental health. All the time, trying to keep events within my personal life out of the equation. Unfortunately keeping my personal life out of it has been my greatest stumbling block when it comes to Blogging/Vlogging. Considering I am an introvert who struggles to leave the house half of the time, my biggest triggers are in my home and family standings. Keeping my personal life out of it, meant I had nothing to talk about or little time to create content, other than when driving alone.
I have received a lot of treatment during the past few years, as well as undertaken a collective of little explained life changes. Having finally reached the point where I have answers about my mental health issues that actually fit in within a diagnoses (I will be discussing this soon), and I am currently in the latest stage of “recovery with adaptations”. Meaning I am starting to venture out into the world once again, one step at a time. To help with this, I will try and incorporate three of my favourite hobbies within the blogging, as I am within my recovery plan. Photography, travel, and theme parks. I have the camera gear capable of taking amazing photographs, seasonal passes for theme parks, and I like to travel as I will explain in detail later on in the year.
Thirdly
I am currently in the process of creating and designing a Podcast. Focusing primarily around generalised symptoms and the developmental crossovers between diagnosis’s, I will attempt to include study and professionally declared information along the way while cross-referencing with real life experiences. Although this is the start out plan for the Podcast, I imagine I will venture off topic fairly easy along the way, so who knows what the subject will be once I have covered the initial structured subjects.
So for now bare with me while I attempt to get things back into some sort of order. Change is coming, and hopefully this time, I will finally find my footing to a better future.
Stay safe everyone.
