Things that don’t make me a bad blogger.

I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to be a blogger recently and particularly about the expectations around blogging. Sometimes I end up feeling a lot of guilt about blogging and it’s taking a long time to realise that there is a lot that I don’t actually need to say sorry for. So, this is my public declaration that I won’t apologise for these things and they don’t make me (or anyone else) a bad blogger.

• Reusing photos
• Using my iPhone for photos
• Not having the fanciest camera (or even one that works at the moment)
• Not posting every day
• Not posting according to a fixed schedule
• Missing a post
• Taking a break and missing quite a few posts
• Going out for dinner and not blogging about it
• Hanging out with friends or family without trying to make content from it
• Not reading as much as I used to
• Not being caught up with the latest trends
• …or the latest releases
• Turning off my blogging head during the work week
• Only posting on social media on the weekend (because I turn off my blogging head during the work week)
• Prioritising real life over online life
• Not having frequent hauls
• Eating cereal rather that a fancy breakfast
• Choosing to remain at home, even if that means you don’t have blog content
• Not having an ‘Instagrammable’ home as a background
• Seeing blogging as a hobby rather than a business I need to hustle at

And, with that, I hereby pledge to stop the ‘bad’ blogger guilt! Will you join me?
