STARTING OVER
A new approach to blogging.
Probably said this a million times and failed again after publishing three new Blogposts. I could write a long post now, starting with the lamest phrase of the season ‚quarantine gave me a lot of time to think‘ and how I melted into a puddle of toxic self-pity, because holy hell after almost 2,5 month of basically being a workless Freelancer, I did.
Instead I’m currently crawling out of this dark & muddy place to tell you, this Blog is up und running again, Baby. This time with already a handful of posts ready to be published, because hey, I had all the time in the world. The motivation behind it?
Well I simply realized that during all these years, no matter how true I stayed to myself (and you know I did), I still mostly created content with one thought in the back of my mind ‚is this going to perform well?‘. And goddman am I mad at myself for doing this.
My personality is so far away from pleasing people, because I’m not perfect, I’m messy and I love being messy. I find my very own definition of perfection in it. I’m simply a creative person, my whole being is based on it. And it’s a quality that I will treasure until the end of all days, because it gives me the possibility to find something beautiful in the simplest things. And now we still ended up with a dramatic essay. Told you. Messy.
'The old Taylor can't come to the phone right now. Why? Oh, because she's dead.'

So what now?
It’s safe to say, that this blog isn’t a Fashionblog anymore. The thought of getting all dressed up simply for a photo to post is haunting me. I’m still going to share my Looks, but more in the moment and I’m sorry, but they probably will be Vintage.
Things will be a bit different here. I want to create a place where you find inspiration.
And recipes to my phenomenal baking masterpieces (it‘s a fact), interesting books and movies, beautiful places, my approach to everything feelgood and of course music. Or simply posts filled with aesthetically pleasing photos, because I find joy in these things.
And I hope you do to.
Let’s embrace some messiness.
ONE MORE THINGS
I started my second business LISA FIEGE CREATIVE right at the beginning of March. And like everyone else I had now idea that only a few days later shit would completely hit the fan.
With companies trying to cut costs at all ends and saving budgets for ‚more stable times‘, it was quite a tough & frustrating start for a creative freelance business. After months of work and pouring all my heart and soul into this Business, it was simply a demotivating experience and I know that there are a lot of Business owners out there who feel the same. Please remember that THIS WON’T LAST FOREVER.
