This post may be a little heavy for a Monday but we’re all friends here so today I’m going to keep it real. Over the past few months, I have been going, going, and going. It sort of feels like I can’t come up to catch me breath and it is effecting my mood, my health, my sleep schedule, my time spent with my loved ones and ultimately my drive. I am a creature of routine, and I know that this feeling stems from a seriously crazy summer schedule that isn’t allowing me to start and finish my weeks fresh. {Does that get to you too?} But right now I just don’t see the end in sight and I annoy myself with the pressure I feel to be productive and balance everything. Overall, it is hard to pinpoint where my priorities stand at the moment. Does this happen to you? 

It’s hard because I feel like I am neglecting you. I feel guilty that I haven’t been spending as much time brainstorming new ideas for S&S, finding inspiration, shooting new outfits, etc. I have so many dreams for this blog and exciting things/collaborations in the works that will create some pretty changes around here but for now I’m feeling like I’m stuck in limbo. I guess this is what summer feels like when you’re no longer on break and everything in life is in constant cycle…

I can’t even begin to count the things I am thankful for because this space, my family, my friends, my little life in Chicago, and you are what makes every day better than the last. I look forward to every single comment, every Facebook like, every repin on Pinterest, every tweet, every new follower, like, and comment on Instagram, just everything. You guys are what keeps me going, keeps my eyes open, and keeps my mind constantly moving! There isn’t anyone in my life that enhances my creativity and drive more than you so for now I just want to say thank you for visiting everyday. Thank you for reading my banter. Thank you for checking in on Saturday’s when Weekend Style posts don’t go live {sadly they’ve taken the back seat lately!}, and just for always being so supportive and patient. I think that this stress stems from me feeling guilty that I’m disappointing you so if there is anything on S&S you’d like to see more of, anything you miss, anything you hate, please fill me in. Alright, that’s enough chatter for today. xo
