So as you may have noticed I have taken abit of a break from blogging. The break was very much needed. Over this time period I have learnt how dependent a blog actually is, it needs constant feeding and attention, something which I have questioned whether I am prepared to give. I have also learnt that I want my blog to be more about inspiration and my tastes without being ABOUT ME. My main concern with blogging is the element of self. In our current society people are very aware of their public persona and are interested in self promotion for personal gain, I would prefer not to enter this world. For these reasons I have questioned my own personal involvement within the blogging community, you begin to question whether sharing your loves and tastes with the entire world is the direction you want to take. Taking something so personal and throwing it into the public spectrum, overexposing everything that is important to you.
Right now I am still not too sure of the future of Watermelon Fox. For now I am going to continue to blog only when the inspiration hits and live without the pressures of blogging. I do not want to blog for the sake of blogging, to fill my blog with mindless fillers or to get followers, I have made this clear since the beginning. I am trying and re-adjust my attitude into thinking that blogging is a modern alternative to scrap booking/mood boards as a way to embrace personal creativity and develop visual tastes. So if you like my tastes continue to check in every once in a while and lets watch this space with Watermelon Fox.
