and then I stopped blogging

Sorry, I’ll be back tomorrow. 

I’ve been struggling with why I blog. 

I blog because I like to write and documenting our life for my daughters is important to me (and this whole what-I-wore thing is kinda fun).  I don’t blog to get lots of followers (but that people follow me or want to read what I write is very humbling and I’m thankful for you!). 

I wrote for about a year and a half without telling a single person about my blog.  It was my secret place.  And I liked the feeling that I could write and send something out there  that would last. 

Last longer than me, last longer than my fleeting thoughts and emotions.

But now that I’m interacting more with other bloggers, I’m starting to get worn out.  Not by my blog, but by them.  Follow me here, retweet this, like this. 

It’s exhausting. 
And not why I want this space,
not what I want this to be.

So I’m revolting by not blogging (take that bloggers!).  I’ll be back tomorrow good as new, but I just felt like things were getting messy and out of focus. 

Sometimes I read a blog and it just feels so fake.

And I desperately don’t want that for my little piece of the internet.  And I just felt like that needed to be said.

Ahhhh.

    Great post. I’m sure your feeling as many bloggers do. I know my sister gets so pulled down by it all. Then other times she realizes what great people and friends she made. I would sure miss reading your wit, book reviews, and your wonderful fashion. Can’t wait to read you tomorrow!

    Thanks Jess. I agree–sometimes it’s awesome and then other times I’m just burnt out. Ebbs and flow, my dear, ebbs and flow. 🙂
