It’s been a while since I’ve written and I’m not really sure why. Writing and creating make me feel alive and useful. For some time I really enjoyed exploring Dallas and keeping up with new restaurants, bars, local news, and events – especially music. But it’s an awfully demanding thing to stay on top of, especially now that I’m outside of the city.
Competition is another creative oppressor, though I know it shouldn’t stop me from doing my thing. I guess when I started this blog I wanted it to be more about the actual experience of living in Dallas. Not an influencer-edited-rose-colored version of the place, but an editorial take on the feel that you get when you’re on the ground here working, interacting, and just trying to keep up with the Big D life.
I think I’ve kind of let the success of influencers affect me. I know I don’t take perfect pictures or videos. And I don’t exactly feel like I fit in at the “exclusive hot spots” of Dallas. It’s just not my personality.
I don’t know what that means in terms of where this blog will end up. I may archive it or rebrand it to be be more of a DFW area blog. But I haven’t forgotten about it. For a long time this blog was very important to me, and it still holds a dear place in my heart.
If you’re reading this, is there anything you’d like to hear about DFW? What kind of content would you like to see?
Until next time,
Julie
