I have decided to make some changes to my blog. A while ago a read an article (I can't remember where) about how to have a successful blog that will attract readers. One of the suggestions was that your blog should centre around a particular theme or topic, for example, fashion or photography rather than it just be a place where you write about your life as people may find this boring and it makes your blog less accessible on search engines.

I have been doing some soul-searching lately and I have realised that I have been through so much in my life. And each new experience, whether it be negative or positive, teaches me a new lesson. This may sound very cliche, but I am slowly realising that there is truth in the phrase "everything happens for a reason".

It has always irritated me when people have said that to me as a means of consoling me whilst I am going through something. At the time, it is very difficult to believe that this terrible thing that you are going through is actually meant to teach you some sort of important life lesson. But I find that once the storm has passed, I tend to look back in retrospect and realise what I learned (or was meant to learn) from that situation/experienced.

The point that I am trying to make is that I have learned many hard lessons in my lifetime. And whilst I do believe that you should learn your own lessons, it is helpful (and saves time) to learn from other people's mistakes and triumphs too. And so I am re-purpossing my blog as more of a place where I can share advice and suggestions with others. So stick around...
