One Year of Classically Leah!

Today marks one year since the launch of the Classically Leah blog!

A year ago today, I was terrified to reveal this (mostly) secret project that had been in the works for two months. Fortunately, I received so much love and support, and I am so grateful for everyone’s acceptance of this extension of myself. This past year has taught me the value of embracing my passions rather than feeling ashamed or embarrassed.

Venturing into the blogging/content-creating world has been a big learning curve. Although I have been active on social media for years, I never had to worry about crafting a public internet persona. I am very cautious of sacrificing my integrity for the sake of gaining more followers or traffic on my social media platforms. Although I would love to have a bigger audience, I feel strongly about posting content that stems from a place of passion. I imagine I will be blogging in some capacity for years to come, and I want everything on my site to be a genuine reflection of who I am. While that has always been my intention, this past year has been figuring out how to do that. I am also painfully aware that I am not an expert on anything and am in no position to be giving advice. The only thing I can offer is an insight into my own experiences and interests in hopes that they resonate with others.

As some may have noticed, consistency is a recurring issue. While I still have goals for the Classically Leah platforms, I have learned to be more realistic. As much as I would love to devote more time to blogging, I have other responsibilities with far less flexibility..., and of course, there are periods where I have to take a step back from everything and prioritize my mental health and wellbeing.

While I still have a lot more learning and growing to do, I am proud of my little corner of the internet. Again, I am so appreciative of everyone that has followed along, and I am looking forward to another year of Classically Leah!
