I’ve been thinking a lot recently about the whole blogging thing. I first started my blog during the planning stages of my wedding. It was an easy way to keep my friends in the loop about what we were doing. After Josh and I got married, I kept up the blog. It was just something fun for me to do. As I got into photography it became a way to share my pictures and thoughts with them.
I had someone recently say to me that they would never blog or tweet; they were just a private person. The way it was said made me feel like blogging was such a horrible thing. Although I do write about very personal things I don’t share every thought that crosses through my mind (nobody wants to hear all those). I still have private thoughts and private things in my life.
Blogging has been such a good experience for me. I really have made some good friends through this. But mostly I do this for me… So although I have lost a bit of steam with this little blog, I do hope to get back to it regularly. Let’s face it, I’m a “wear my heart on my sleeve” kind of person…not so much a private person. I much prefer to be an open book or open blog as the case may be.
I’m glad you’re not going to stop blogging. If it’s something you enjoy, do it. It’s not for everyone. Don’t let someone’s negativity about blogging bring you down.
Please don’t leave! It’s my way of stopping by your little cubicle in the old workplace! I love seeing pictures of Jasper and all the ways he is growing as well as your creative insight. Everyone who blogs has their reason. For my poor kids it will probably be the only thing that resembles a scrapbook. For those who don’t blog, they have their reasons too. And they should never say never!
I recently went through this as well… Keep on bloggin’! I wear my heart on my sleeve as well… for me, it feels good to “talk” it out with my blogging friends!
My blog sucks~~but yours doesn’t!! I stop by it a few times a week. Keep up the good work.
I enjoy reading your blogs! Please keep them coming.
You know what’s funny? I had lunch with one of my friends (whom I met in real life first, but we became friends over our blogs) when I was in Denver and the thing that we talked about most was how much we loved that with blogging, we could share as much or as little as we wanted to, and that was the most awesome part about blogging.
What I have ALWAYS loved about your blog is that you share enough with us to humanize yourself, but not so much that I feel like you’re opening up your whole world to us.
I’ve never met you, but I enjoy your blog! Please keep blogging. :)
