I Am A Blogger!

Some people call themselves writers, others call themselves artists — me? I’m a blogger/content creator/stationer.

And before you imagine me sipping iced lattes all day while words magically appear, let me stop you right there. Blogging is part late-night typing frenzy, part juggling act, and part therapy session with a keyboard.

But here’s the thing: it’s also the one place where my love for journaling, crafting, and stationery turns into something bigger than myself — a career that feels like both work and joy.

I love to come up with idea lists in my non-negotiables notebook and fond of being a little creative. I do try to be engaging with this project once in awhile. But at the end of it there's all well it ends well-blended.

Behind the Screen Chaos

Blogging looks dreamy, but it's mostly me and a knack of storytelling vs. the blinking cursor. Let's just say inspiration usually arrives when all of the scenes in my head are not chaotic and inspires me to just sit down and tell a tale of everyday musings. Or when I'm already in bed.

And I kid you not one of the things that keep me up at night.

Surprise! Surprise!

People think I "just write". Nope--I wrestle with drafts and crafting an outline like there're rainy days and drought days. Ah, you get the gist!

The Stationery Obsession (and Yes, It's a Career)

Blogging gave me an excuse to turn my love for paper into a full-on job. In this space I share my expression of creativity in forms of tutorials and other things alike. Whether finding time to craft an idea or just adding to my readers attention offering my handmade art and stationeries as a way to put it out there as the designs I made uniquely to my style contribute (maybe even just a little) to the stationery world. Slowly but surely-I am optimistic! 😀

My shop isn't just about cute supplies-it's about creating peace on a page. Whatever feels right, well-blended, and suits inspo themes. I know some will say including myself, "I need stickers designers to thrive. Handmade journal makers to come out with new designs." And nowadays it seems like we see these on our everyday scrolling in Social Media (SM) feed or just googling an online affordable stationery is just a purchase with a click of a button to add to cart and pay.

Being both a blogger and stationer means I get to say, "Yes, stickers pay my bills." And it is going to happen happily in eventuality forward.

Why I Keep Showing Up

Being a blogger and content creator keeps me grounded-like journaling with expressiveness for my cushy spot on the internet. Apart from the videos edits and the purpose of it to market my products. This has been a safe way for me to maneuver my ideas to see what I can do with this inspired ticket to sell my handmade crafts and stationery.

As part of the making and learning to be on top of the handmade stationery online shop scene, I once carry a self-image of not good enough or the hardest aspect of this is mastering handmade craft-making and the patience to market the products I offer.

What has been my driving motivation in this matter is the many things I wear to finally see what I long for to happen. And it takes patience. And the satisfaction after you've gone through hoops in making the product (making the prototypes, designing, and finalizing the design), getting feedback, and writing about my journey.

There is not a second satisfaction that alleviates depression well. Having an inertia of good dopamine. I'll take that any day and many more days. Keep the low dips of depressive bouts at bay.

The more people know about my shop the more people will know about my craft.

In this space I rely on Social Media promotion and my blog to drive traffic.

My ideas, tips, and product posts is my way of giving creativeness back to the world. There's so many things that are worthy of bringing into light in this world. Think about designs of the artist you are fond of? One day I will see myself just like that.
