I Really Don't Know What To Do.

  This has been on my mind for a really long time and I don't know what the best decision is, or if it should even be questioned. I want to create content, some days are revolved around research for my blog posts. I love creating something every day, even if only two people see it.


  The problem is that in a few months I am going to be in the south of France working for a family friend and I'm wondering if daily blogging is going to get in the way of me enjoying my time. And on the other hand, I'm wondering if I'll regret not sticking to my 365 days of blogging goal.


  Another problem is that I am going to be visiting my grandmother a few months prior to France and she doesn't have any internet. In order to get enough wifi to upload to Instagram, you have to drive fifteen minutes into town. That's an hour to write and revise a blog post and a thirty-minute car ride in total a day, all while I'm supposed to be visiting family I haven't seen in a year and won't see for another year. And some blog posts, as I mentioned before, take a few hours to compile research, properly sourced, and make sure the paragraphs flow smoothly.


  Maybe I got too excited to start a new project, or maybe I'm over exaggerating and can write a blog post a day. When I put my mind to something nothing is going to stop me, I just wanted to do this whole blogging thing because I know how good I feel when I complete a goal and have something to look forward to every day.


  I know people get bigger things done in worse circumstances, I just hold high standards for the blog posts I create. I don't know if what I post while I'm in France or at my grandmother's will be a proper reflection of how hard I work and how driven I am. I don't know if the decision to stop blogging and enjoy my time is the best decision in order to have a fresh mindset when I get back to blogging. Or will it put me in a creative rut that I will struggle to get out of when I get back home?


  Like I said, my work is a reflection of who I am, and I don't want it to seem like I'm preoccupied and have better things to do. This has been running through my mind like crazy, I don't want to disappoint myself and the people who take the time to read my daily blog posts. Will everyone think I'm a quitter who can't commit to a goal? Because that's not who I am, I just want to have balance in my life. Bad content<enjoying my time with my family and France, or, Great content>missing out on memories I will hold dear for the rest of my life?


If you could please tell me your thoughts on if I should post daily or just start back up when I get back from being too busy, your comments will be put into great consideration because I'm indecisive about this. 


  I've thought of other things I could post that won't take up a lot of time and can still count as 'creating daily content'.


1. Posting a picture that sums up my day.

2. Posting a daily diary entry about my day.(but I don’t know if I’m comfortable sharing that much of my personal life because not every day of my life is perfect, I can't hold back from ranting and being real with you guys.)
