"What we have to learn to do, we learn by doing".
~ Aristotle.
I recently made a "come back" to the blogosphere. It's not like I was ever completely gone. But the past year and a half I was really busy and my mind, energies - and most of my time - was... somewhere else... Too bad - but oh so real. Getting my focus back to my blog has, as it usually happens when creating your own path, educated me about myself.
Last week I made a HUGE mistake.
I went over the first posts of my blog and the first videos I uploaded years ago. I saw blurry pictures from my old camera, a design that I couldn't identify with anymore, videos that were too long or too short, some others in which I was too nervous, rambling or that had bad lighting, comments I hadn't answered in months. And I suddenly had this urge of 'starting it all over again'. Yes, I seriously considered deleting many of my blog posts and videos, and simply starting from scratch. Hours, Months, Years of work... were no longer good enough for me. They didn't portray me with the blogging, photography or video editing skills I have now acquired after so many years. And I wanted NO witnesses of this. They had to GO.
