I ain't no good at this

I ain't no good at this.
How often don't we tell ourselves that? How many times have you tried and failed something?

To be honest, it seems like the story of my life. I give it a shot, don't manage, don't achieve what I'd like to, and I think 'ah, I could be doing this other cool thing instead'. And there it starts all over again. It happened with learning French. Learning Italian. Playing the keyboard. Writing a novel.
It happened with blogging.

The thing is not that I am bad at it. I don't think I suck at any of these things, on the contrary, at some of them I might actually be pretty good. The thing is: I try. Once. Maybe twice. And then it gets hard, I get tired, I am busy with my studies (which means doing quizes on Buzzfeed most of the time), and I forget. I forget, and I stop trying.
And whenever I remind myself of it, I feel demotivated, because I haven't done anything for an entire week.

It took me a while to admit that, but given that I am doing a lot of sports lately (and seriously, I would have laughed at you if you'd told me this one year ago. Like seriously? Me? Sports? In one sentence? You are definitely crazy!), I think I might actually have at least some willpower to do something. Because with lately I don't mean that I went jogging three times now. I mean that I started going to the gym in May and still do this three times a week, and I started running in September and I also do this three times a week. Yay! I am doing something I didn't even know I wanted to do, and I am not giving up on it!

So now it is about time to do the things I already want to do since forever. Blogging. It used to be something I really loved to do from, let's say, my 15th till my 20th. And then it just stopped. At the moment I have three blogs 'running'. The 52 Books Challenge, which is an idea I am still in love with and I will continue, until the end of the year just as a kind of practice. In 2015, I will do the challenge again. I can totally read and review 52 books in a year!
The other one is my Dutch travel blog. I liked it for a bit, but it's tiring. And it is only interesting if you are, let's say, my mom. So I will deliberately give up on that one.

And then there is Mondo d'Amore. A title I picked before I new any Italian, but a title I am still happy with. World of love. Sounds cheesy, right?
Right, but I mean something different. The world is a nasty place, but in my little corner I'll analyse it. I'll share my personal thoughts, happiness, sadness, and anger about this world. And of course, also my cheesy thoughts.

That's what I will do. I vow that I will post at least two blogs per week. And do find a way to punish me if I don't, please!
