Having seconds thoughts

tree branches Having second thoughts

Thoughts of an introvert changes

Second thoughts are the middle name

One day you feel like this and the other like that

Want to do so many things but yet are afraid to

Indecisiveness is a curse because you get second thoughts

You think too much what could go wrong instead of what goes right

Choose they say but why when you get second thoughts

I made a choice but changed again

Second thoughts, that’s me

I can’t decide because I change views

Don’t blame me, blame no one

I do what I feel and not what others want

I’ve seen a lot because I get second thoughts

Today I feel like this and tomorrow something else

I need change or I get bored

Second thoughts is what I do and maybe you should try it too

It’s a quote from the movie ‘V for Vendetta’ but it’s also the date of today. It’s not only that but it’s also All Saint’s Day and in other places Guy Fawkes Night. Those are totally different though. Here we remember people who have passed away. People go the cemetery to put candles on the graves. We usually do it at Christmas so we don’t do it now. There’s only been death in our family it seems. We don’t have much contact with other relatives anymore. They can be a pain sometimes so I don’t really care either. Why keep in touch with people who doesn’t bother keep in touch with us? We’re better off and it’s not a hyperbole.

Christmases are not the same anymore because there’s only me and my dad left. We always spent the holidays with our closest family members. I had a great childhood. I never knew my grandfathers since they passed away when my parents were young. I had a close bond with both of my grandmothers. They were always there when you needed them. I can’t understand why some people doesn’t have any contact with their grandparents. You can teach your kids to respect elders and you also get great memories. I’ll cherish every moment I had with them. Nothing lasts forever but memories will never die.

On this All Saint’s Day, I light a candle for my sister, my mother and grandmothers. Family has always been very important to me. They’re the ones who you feel most secure with. You can have a family of your own but they’re not the people your birth family was. There will never be another person like them. If I was born again, I wouldn’t change a thing when it comes to family. I wished they could have stayed a little longer on this earth but those are things you can’t control.

Remembering family members on the 5th of November.

RIP

thank you Blogging is more fun when you have followers. Without them, you’re nothing more than a personal diary person. There’s nothing wrong with that. If you want to write to yourself, just do it. I had a diary when I was younger until I found blogging. It’s almost like a diary but it’s for anybody who’s interested. I never thought it would become part of my life. When I first started, I felt like I was writing for myself and no one paid attention. It did put me down. I started to blog because I wanted to share my thoughts and not just to write. As the years have gone by (this is my 3rd year) I’ve realised, some bloggers get followers after a few months and for some it takes a few years. You shouldn’t compare yourself with others. You can doubt yourself. Questions like these might go through your mind.
“Why am I blogging when no one seem to read it?”
“Is it because I’m a bad writer?”
“Am I too boring so no one cares what I write?”
“Why does others seem to get followers but I’m not?”
“Am I doing something wrong?”
Maybe you’re not sure why bother blogging. You can try to find solutions online how to get more traffic but in the end is shouldn’t matter. Good things come for those who waits. Blogging is like having a career in music business. Some become stars over night and for some it takes years to find success.

Blogging is not a popularity contest. Most bloggers doesn’t want a career of it. It doesn’t matter how many followers you got. I for one don’t need thousands of followers. I don’t blog because I want people to like me. I don’t need that much attention. If you start to blog because of that, I suggest you do something else. Blogging should be fun and not something you must do to please other people. Tips you find online is usually for those who wants to boost sales for their company. For an ordinary blogger those tips doesn’t help much. The best help you can get are from other bloggers. We all have different experiences and sharing those are more precious than anything. No one gives better advice than real bloggers. In the end, you don’t really need anyone’s help. Maybe at the start but more you write, better you become. No one can tell you how to write. Give suggestions maybe but never how to do it. One advice doesn’t mean it will work on your blog.

I’ve recently got some more followers and I sincerely thank you for finding my blog. I did never even imagine people would. I started to blog regularly in 2014 and there had been times I have lost motivation to post. I have asked myself those questions I wrote about earlier. Some days I found my enthusiasm but there’s also been days I lacked it. I still kept going. I was writing what I wanted to write about and not what everybody else did. I want to be different because I dare to. I made a choice not to write about my personal life more than I had to. I even doubted if I should put a photo of me. I hate all these selfies people put online. When you those on social media all the time, you just don’t want to see them on blogging sites. Photos of yourself online in general is too superficial for my taste. Besides when you post photos like that, they always be there for everyone to take. I want people to know my brain and not what I look like. Photos are just that and it doesn’t tell what the person is like.
No matter what the reason for you is to read this blog, I hope you all stay because this post won’t be the last. I sincerely hope so.

Sincere

Tallenna
