An intro of sorts

I read A LOT of blogs. Fashion blogs, beauty blogs, lifestyle blogs. Any and all of them. Recently, I've noticed there has been a move towards being more authentic with your content; more honest with your readership about the effort that goes in to each and every photo or post.

However. When the author of the fitness blog already has an amazing body, or that interior design guru already lives in a beautifully furnished and styled home; I appreciate the candor but it still doesn't resonate true of my life. I'm twenty-five, single, working a job that is no where near my passion. I want to read about women facing similar struggles; who are constantly working towards bettering themselves and their lives but haven't quite made it yet.

Quite often I feel like you join the most popular bloggers at the end of their journey, which I imagine is a facet of blogging becoming more of a career than a hobby. But I feel there's still a niche for chronicles of the process.

So here's the pitch. The internet is stuffed full of shiny, polished glimpses into the lives of people (women, more specifically to this conversation) that seem to have everything sorted: a great boyfriend, a wonderful wardrobe, an active social life. And I love reading the writing they produce. But oftentimes it makes me feel inadequate in myriad ways. I propose an alternative. A glimpse into the life of someone who does not have their shit together, but who's trying their best (about 75% of the time....). So if that sounds good, please join me.
