Thanks to everyone who sent in their questions for this Q&A session. I was just taking a look at the questions I received and now I just can’t wait any longer to answer them. But since there were a lot of questions and one-line answers are not my thing at all, I thought I will answer them in three different posts so y’all won’t have to scroll through for too long and get bored reading my answers on a single post. So stay tuned for pt. 2 and pt. 3 of our Q&A // Answering session.
Here are my answers to Lucy’s questions…. (Also, don’t forget to check out her blog @Elsie LMC ❤️ )
Have you ever fallen into a blogging slump and if so how did you get out of it?
Oh I’ve been there so many times. And every time I got out of my blogging slump in a different way. Before I thought, the best way to deal with that was simply taking a break. It worked, many times, but recently, I had to use another way because I realized my hiatus was only pushing me deeper into my blogging slump. So I gave myself this Blogtober challenge, and to my delight, it’s been way more helpful to me than I ever expected. There’s one more method that works quite well against a blogging slump and that’s trying something new. Do something that makes you feel excited about blogging again, for example: host a contest or collaborate with other bloggers.
What is your favorite drink? Choose a hot and a cold.
I hope no one throws me out of the community to say this but I don’t have any particular drink that I like so much to call it my favorite. But I do love fruit juices a lot, and mango drinks in summers and also lemonades, I never say no to them. I don’t like hot drinks, but in winters, my mom makes me a variety of soups that I love, but we don’t call them drinks, do we?
If you could instantly obtain any talent, what would you choose and why?
OMG, dancing, please. I envy people who don’t have any problem with catching a choreography even if it’s their first time seeing it. Me, on the other hand, can remember every step fluently but my legs just won’t follow it the way I want them to. Until a few years ago, I was pretty satisfied with my dancing abilities as I always got chosen as center in school performances, but after some time I just lost confidence and went from being the girl who was always excited about dancing to the girl who has never performed in college. I kinda miss that feeling.
Is there something you really want to do but have been holding back on? What is it?
I don’t know if it’s something I really want to do, but I would like to give the NIMCET exam a try. This is an entrance exam you have to clear to enroll into the MCA program at an NIT. The thing is, I love the idea of completing my degree at a great institution like NIT, and I’m confident in myself that I can clear that entrance exam if I start preparing for it. BUT… it’s just that I don’t know if I should really give two years of time and money of course, for something I’m not passionate about. So yeah, that’s why I’ve been putting it off, but I think my reason is valid and I’m still considering it so I hope I’ll figure something out.
I think I went too serious with that. On a lighter note, I really want to start making videos – vlogs maybe, but I’m not sure about that. I just want to document my life, save every tiny details of everything that’s around, that’s precious to me.
Do you remember the first ever person to comment on your blog? What did they say?
Ah it makes me sad to say this but I don’t. Actually, when I first started blogging, my posts were kinda ‘meh’. Like I knew nothing about writing so I would just post anything like random quotes from the internet or my garden photos with a little effort, so even the comments I received in my first couple of months of blogging weren’t so special. I mean I appreciated them still, but those comments weren’t speaking to me, you know what I mean. They’d be like ‘great quote’, ‘thanks for sharing’, ‘nice pictures’ and stuff like that, so I don’t remember anything in particular. It felt very different from how I feel now when I read the comments on my blog. Now I nearly get tears in my eyes most of the times I read your comments because it feels like I have a family here now. You are speaking those words to me and I feel seen. It’s so different, and I’m grateful for it.
What was your first blog post about?
It was something “nature” I guess. Weird, right? It sounds weird to me but I truly had no idea what was I going to do over here. It started as just a time pass, something fun and new to do. I deleted that post after some time because it wasn’t relevant anymore and I had no deeper connection to do so it was easy to let go. I probably just shared some pictures on my camera roll and shared some quotes I guess.
What thing did you last do that you were proud of yourself for?
So this incident happened last month when I came face to face with making a kind of choice I had never before. I had to choose one between self-respect or losing an opportunity I worked day and night for. It hurt throwing away something I had worked so hard for but I chose to speak up for myself, put up a fight, and then I walked out of that situation with grace. I didn’t know where that came from, I’ve always been a people- pleaser, but that day I stood up for myself. And that made me super proud.
That’s all for today. I wanted to answer some more questions in this post but I have guests today at home so we will continue this Q&A in part 2.
I hope you enjoyed reading this post. Stay tuned for my next post tomorrow!
Thanks for reading!
