Why I Stopped Blogging for A Year & Why I'm BACK!
OH Hey there, it's been a while! Besides my most recent post on my trip to Whistler & one other post announcing that Life Lapse app was live in the fall, it has been almost a year since I abandoned Bolandia, the blog! Why? I'm so glad you asked. Honestly, this past year has been a little crazy for me navigating the start-up world & app industry. It's left little room for hobbies & when I do get a break (I've done a fair amount of traveling), I just want to chill. I have barely picked up my camera this year to shoot personally because I've been so focussed on growing Life Lapse. If I did shoot on a trip, the footage is still sitting on my hard drive. Even Jack's poor Instagram account has been lack lustre, haha.
So why I am back? I miss creating & sharing anything/everything that interests me. Whether it's a travel tip or sharing my experience of growing a business. I LOVE TO SHARE THAT SHIT. I've held back for a year because of 1- time & 2- I wasn't sure on the proper etiquette on sharing business information, especially if I plan to raise capital for my business. I thought by sharing my failures & learnings along the way it would make me look vulnerable and to be frank, an idiot. This year has been filled with a lot of failure and rejection and I'm ready to start talking about it, hopefully, so other people don't repeat the same mistakes that I do. There's also been lots of wins, which I'm excited to talk about too!
Filmmaking & photography will always be a passion of mine. Since picking the camera back up the past few weeks, I can already feel creative energy flowin' and it makes me freakin' stoked!! Shooting for me, is a form of #SelfLove, it fuels me. I've seen so many slick new techniques in film & photography lately and I'm ready & inspired to push myself creatively on my own projects.
