| Happy New Year! |
Hello 2013! I have been taking a bit of a blogging hiatus with the holidays and family visiting and then going out of town for the New Year. To be completely honest, however, my blogging break started a little before all the holiday madness! I just wasn’t feelin “it.” Sometimes I would open my blogger post and just stare at the blank screen, come up with nothing and then go do other stuff. The only post I was continually doing and enjoying were my Friday Fancies posts.
Blogging had become about “need” rather than “want.” I felt like I should update my blog because I was “supposed” to update it so many times a week, that I needed to update. But that’s not how blogging should be! It should be about wanting to do it! Wanting to write. Wanting to share your pictures and life and thoughts!
I am pulling myself out of this lull. I am dedicating myself to writing and updating when and because I want to, not because I feel the need to. I don’t plan on making any major changes to my blog except my attitude towards the whole thing! I want to write more and share more of me, rather than just posting pictures of stuff I like. I want to blog for me.
I hope you’ll join me on this journey!
I totally get what you mean! Thats what was happening to me. I decided that I really do want to blog, so my goal is to blog on a regular basis now. Ive missed it! but I dont want to feel like its a mandatory thing, if I dont feel like blogging one day I just wont! Happy New Year friend!
Do what you gotta do! I've been hiatus-ing on and off for a while. I keep coming back because I really love it, but there are times when it's just not practical or logical to drive myself crazy over trying to squeeze in just one post that day. Thanks for being real!
Preach!
That's totally my approach. I have too many things going on anyway that are 100x more stressful than blogging so I don't even feel guilty about it. My blog, to me, is therapy so I definitely don't feel guilty if I miss days (or, in December, weeks!)
