I definitely am fully aware that I have an addiction to Pinterest. It used to be something that would fill up a few hours on the weekend. Now it’s turned into all weekend long and sometimes on weeknights. I am also aware that I am a phase kinda gal. I go thru strong phases of loving something and being obsessed with it and then I ease off and go into another phase. But this is more than a phase since this has surpassed the month mark of my weekends being filled with Pinterest.
Often in life we tend to throw ourselves into something, a hobby, a habit or an addiction, and it’s really us running away from something else. I’ve used Pinterest as a form of escapism. Yes it’s still useful for the things I post. Yes I love the fact that it’s my own virtual wishlist and I know I can go into tangents when I’m on certain websites! But it’s time to stop avoiding everything else in order to accomadate Pinterest. And sure when you’re new on Pinterest, you can’t help but be on it like ridiculous, but I’m not new so I can’t use that as my excuse! lol
So what am I going to do to change this trend around? Exactly what I’m doing now…blogging. Getting back to my first love. I’m also journaling on my own so that my blog can get out of this funk of either my states of depression or my love of Pinterest {honestly, scroll thru the last few posts and I will hear you as you SMH}. My thoughts will go into my personal journal {talk about hand cramps} Also isn’t it funny how lately I’ve had late nights and early mornings and can’t get my butt to work out but I have time to Pin? Yeah so I’m getting my act together and I’ll still Pin but it’s something I gotta earn because of my doing other things…like laundry, for example.
My name is Aria and I’m a Pinoholic 🙂
Do you have it bad too? lol
