Concentrating Less…

…I get too caught up in my emotions I think, Coalettes.

It has been such an awful few months and now this romance nonsense is making me feel so distressed and wretched. I know it is a situation that is what it is, i.e., I cannot control the outcome.

So my concentration over the past few days has dipped which has me down, because I am very passionate about my website, which is naturally going to suffer unless I get a lid on my feelings, you know?

The good news is while traffic dipped today, yesterday was a great day for traffic and for the past 4 weeks, there have been weekly traffic increases of an average of 33% consecutively. So while the page views are not a lot each day, the weekly traffic is going up by a third, which is very exciting.

Maybe the mistake I made was being too forthcoming so quickly when my life is not completely sorted out. That is where I made the mistake.

Anyway, I will try and concentrate some more but my goodness, Bee was not joking in Video Phone when she sang: “boy, you breaking my focus”.

The Subverted Slice of Cake

Having a crush on someone is like being starved of cake. You think about how you want to lick the icing off the cake. You dream of the day when you can put a slice of chocolate gateau into your mouth and feel no guilt. But the cake is not yours for the taking.

You know when you fancy someone, you have that feeling in your tummy. You can’t stop thinking about them. I didn’t think I would ever fancying him. We were/are friends. All of a sudden, I cannot stop thinking about him but I don’t know if I want to be with him. My feelings are confused and mixed up.

But…should I tell him?

struggling to cope with website

Just want to say thanks to all the people who commented about my website.

I have been cooking away on it for months now but it still feels like such a slow turn. I really am passionate about careers online but honestly getting people to talk to me is so impossible.

I work full-time so the only time to get people to talk is either before 9am (not happening) or in my lunchbreak. It is so incredibly HARD!

Any thoughts?
