having a clean canvas✨

By amanda - July 30, 2021

I'm gonna tell you the context. Bare with me.

I've been blogging since 10 years ago. I know, that was a looooong time ago. I first knew about blogging through a newspaper, then i decided to create one and i remember how excited i am back then. I literally wrote anything, from short stories to life updates. I also interacted with a lot of bloggers, mostly local bloggers, exchanging banners, tags, awards, etc etc.

But as i grew up, blogging doesn't feel the same anymore to me. It felt like i had a love-hate relationship with blogging. One time i update my blog, but then i leave it behind. Actually i was soooo busy with real life (uni, internship, relationship, social life, etc) and i think that was the main reason why i abandoned my blog hehe.

The blog that i created since 10 years ago is still airing until now, if you want to read it you can click here. I archived most of the posts because i want to have a clean start.

Clean start? What do you mean?


Okay so we're still in pandemic situation going on right now. These days i am feeling like my days are so bland, mundane, and any synonyms of 'boring' you could think of. Since pandemic started, i barely do any hobbies that i used to do back then, even i barely do self care. My free time is often filled by netflix, youtube, social media, yeah basically i only play with my phone. Or read a book sometimes. One day i have this urge feeling of wanting to do my old hobby back, which is writing.

There are so many mediums to accommodate my writings, but i find that i really want to go back to blogging. Then i was like "okay, i want to write and update my blog (the old one)". I managed to finish one new post there.


BUT.......


I had this odd, tingly feeling that fazed me. I feel like i want to have a clean start aka create a NEW BLOG. But as a procrastinator myself i looked for shortcut then do it right away, so i archived most of my posts there so it feels like i'm having a clean canvas to start over. That is the reason why i archived my posts, mainly my old posts that i wrote several years ago.

YET i was still feeling odd. With that i realized right away that I. NEED. A. NEW. BLOG. THEN START A NEW LIFE THERE. So i forced my procastinating self to just create a new one. And folks, that is how 'tea and rambles' born.


Have you think of a niche?


Hmm.... the niche that i could think of is only lifestyle. However, i just don't really know what to write with lifestyle niche, in addition my life is pretty mundane lol so the niche just doesn't fit me. As a result i think i'm just gonna go with the flow. I'm gonna write whatever that came into mind, either it's a post of my opinion about some topic, movie review, skincare or makeup routine, and so on.

Honestly i am pretty excited where my newborn blog is going to go, where she headed to. As for now, like i said, i'm just gonna go with the flow. And i hope i am able to update this blog regularly though (because now i am working in a company and i'm kinda busy...).


Well, it's safe to say that the journey has begun!
