It’s that time of year again where us bloggers sit patiently, nail-bitingly nervous as we await our fates… Blogging is, for a lot of us, a massive part of our lives. It keeps us ticking, it’s a purpose that runs through our veins. Those who blog for the genuine love of writing, helping, seeking out new ideas and enjoying being creative, are the true bloggers. The UK Blog Awards is our time.
Dating bloggers in particular are unique. We write about our most intimate fears, our greatest loves, the weakest moments of our lives. We draw on experience, friendships and bad times to carve stories and articles to help people learn a little more about love.
So the biggest blog awards ceremony approaches… it’s the Academy Awards of our world. It means a hell of a lot to us.
And so the process of trying to convince you lovely readers to spare 5 minutes of your (already over-worked) time to vote for our little corners of the internet, begins. To keep us motivated, inspired and feel appreciated for the year ahead.
Why vote for Never Settle?
With a focus on millennial women, Never Settle focuses on specific content to promote women’s health, dating and love life, as well as offering support in all areas of relationships for both men and women.
As much as many think my blog is based solely on my personal experience and relationships, it’s not. Without divulging too much, this year has been most definitely the hardest of my life so far. Much more has gone on behind the scenes than people will ever know. I’ve tried meticulously to not let Never Settle slip during these particularly bad times. Why? Because Never Settle has genuinely provided me a purpose, and a tool which I feel responsible for updating, to help other people.
On the face of it, Never Settle has thrived, we’ve had a great year, featuring in multiple publications, had interviews, completed some really hard hitting brand collaborations and contributed to important national campaigns. I’ve launched The Nice Guy Writes, and pushed out my Ask Eve section more, all the while the little static picture has remained of me, smiling.
Some find it tiring, and see my constant positivity on the blog and social media as unrealistic. But in a world where trolling is the norm, and there is already so much pain, negativity is something I genuinely don’t want to incite or contribute to. Life is too short for people who are nasty.
I work hard to write about things which need talking about. Where else can you turn for relationship advice about a specific subject? I write about scenarios and situations not only to provide advice, but also to make sure men and women alike realise they are not alone. Because this life can be incredibly lonely. Never Settle pushes the latest trends to the forefront of discussion, tackling controversial and taboo subjects head on, and looks to provide a range of outcomes and a way of achieving them, based on a mixture of personal experience and extensive psychological and sociological research.
Blogging at the best of times, is not an easy hobby – especially when juggling with all your other commitments: work, hobbies, partners, extracurricular courses and whatever else life decides to throw at you. Spending hours upon hours researching, thinking, hitting writing block walls, being inspired and upkeeping a blog takes real time.
Not to mention the toll it takes on your own private life. It’s not the most conventional of things, running a dating and relationship blog, and it’s not as easily digested by everyone. I may be young, but this is what I love, and I’m so happy people think highly of my brain-child too. My blog wasn’t created to complain, gloat or judge anyone, it’s there as a tool for anyone who wants to make themselves happier, better informed and ultimately more confident in their love lives.
Whether directly or indirectly, helping plenty of you through heartbreak, dating, relationship issues and learning who you are, fills me with so much happiness. Even if you just feel less alone because someone else has been through it too.
Writing Never Settle may be hard at times, but I adore it with all my overly-romantic heart.
Last year I came Highly Commended in the Dating Category, and I would LOVE another chance to be in the final.
