Why I am leaving Watts in Wonderland

Greetings friends,

My heart just isn't in this anymore.

I started blogging when I was nineteen as a creative outlet and hobby. Between the years, it has been an on and off again venture. I have come to realize this is a pattern for many things in my life. Too many interests and goals are the bane of my existence. I get bored easily and hop on to the next thing. That is a flaw of myself that is hard to admit but it is true. All I can do is accept it and move on. My main goal is life is to be a writer. More specifically, to write books and poetry.

I am not afraid of hard work. A good work ethic is important to me. The problem is if you pour yourself into too many things, you end up only filling up glasses gradually instead making progress to overflow one cup to the brim. I want to create abundance of energy and creativity instead letting myself slowly evaporate and condensate because I keep leaving quarter filled glasses unintended throughout my apartment.

Follow your heart is a cliché' piece of advice but it is stable guidance for a reason. If I take care to listen to my stream of consciousness, it is that I took more time to write. I like the idea of having a blog more than I actually enjoy the process of having one. It is more of a distraction from what I really want to accomplish.

My birthday is in two weeks. This seems like a good time to cleanse and begin my next year of life with a new sense of focus. One reason I am writing this is to give this blog a sense of closure but also to connect with anyone who may be challenged by wanting to do too many things. It is never too late to walk away from something if you're doing it for the right reasons. No one knows your truth but you. Experimenting with your interests is wonderful and can help you discover where your soul truly lies. But if you're lucky enough to discover a dream, give yourself the opportunity to give it everything you have even when failure is a possibility. Don't get so distracted by your day to day and know that it is okay to say no to others and to yourself.

To anyone who has contributed to my blog or is an encouragement in my life, I appreciate you more than you know and have loved the experience of {Watts in Wonderland}. Who knows, I may come back to blogging one day but now is the right time to walk away and create more room in my life to grow as an artist and a human being.

Best of luck and forever kindly,

Michelle Watts
