We all know the feeling: waking up with this amazing idea in your head of what you're going to do, or create, during the day, pouring your heart and soul into it, doing everything you thought you'd have to do to get it right and, suddenly, you look at the finished thing and it's just...not what you wanted.
I've been feeling a lot like this recently.
As someone who is always surrounded by people who are incredibly creative and inventive, I normally feel incredibly inspired by other blogs to adapt my blog and improve it's content, but sometimes it's more like these people give me the feeling that almost the creativity equivalent of relative deprivation.

It's difficult, as well, because what I want to do with this blog isn't far off what I've actually been doing - I've been posting more regularly, making myself do different things with it rather than just the usual clothes and makeup haul, for example my T in the Park posts and We Need To Talk About Kevin review, and I've allowed become more friendly and myself in the way that I write in the hope of really finding my niche in the blogging world.
Everybody who's made it successfully in the blogging game talk about how awful their blogs used to be when they first started out, and even I feel like mine has come a long way since I started last year, and the silver lining in feeling this way is that rather than sit and let this play on my mind, I have decided to turn it into a blog post; something I would normally never do, which again is expanding and developing my blog rather than trying to plow on with the stuff that I feel isn't good enough.
We all know from things like this video from Zoella that it is definitely not an uncommon feeling, so what I'm trying to say is, rather than let it get me down and stuck in a rut, I'm just going to remember I'm not alone in this, and I'm always going to try to turn it into something positive - my blog can only get better, especially considering the way it started out'
Have any of you ever felt this way about your blog, and if so, how did you turn it into something positive and productive?
