Let’s Start Over, Shall We?
*knocks on the blogging world door again* It's been a while hasn't it? And while the title is very cliché; if you know me; you'll know I am all about setting those habits, writing down goals and loving every New Year that comes around, so I thought the title was quite apt.
If you don't know who I am, hello! I'm Victoria, also known as @RetroSnowflake on Twitter and Instagram, I'm from Northern Ireland and I've been blogging on-and-off for seven or eight years now. You may know me from my previous blog and I wrote over there for a number of years but I feel like this was the right time to make the move to a new space and start completely fresh. This wasn't the quickest decision I have ever made, I believe this has been a decision that I've sat on for about nine months or so; I wasn't sure if I was going to come back to writing again and it's not because I didn't love it (I do!) but sometimes your confidence gets knocked and you're not sure if you really love something until you don't do it for a while. I discovered that I missed coming online every week and publishing a new post, and doing the work behind it too; everything from writing and referencing the post to working on the social media side of it to promote it. It was a form of taking time for myself in a structured format, and it was one of the hobbies that I had zero expectation from, which I knew in myself, was the perfect hobby for me.

So what exactly will you see from me here? Well I love writing (and reading) about goals, habits and personal development so they'll be top on my list. I'm also an advocate for mental health and as someone who has experienced and still is experiencing depression, it's important for me to open up and talk about that too. Oh, and for the past year I've been telling myself that "I'm getting back into my running" so I'll diving into that also.
If you read my previous blog, you may see some updated versions of posts pop up from time to time too, and I'm actually really excited about that. Over the last few months, I have been looking over those posts to see which ones I truly loved and which ones I had moved past, so with a little refresh, they'll be good as new, and let's face it; do I really want to let them go to waste especially if I love them? Absolutely not.
I'm excited for what's to come on the blog for 2021, and beyond! I feel like I truly know my path now, and if you fancy sticking around to see what's next, you can pop in here every week to find out more.
