I seem to have a really hard time making a commitment to that darn 'publish' button. It taunts me, it really does.
I have a problem with overthinking things. I over analyze whether or not my posts sound the way I really intend. If people are understanding my voice and the way I write. If anyone even cares about what it is I am saying.
Truth is, I need to stop overthinking.
I started this blog for me. And at times I think I get lost in the glamour of getting followers. I don't want to be one of those bloggers that only writes stuff to get readers. Or to make some extra cash. Sure, it's great to have people read my stuff and I love interacting with fellow bloggers. But at the end of the day, the sole purpose of this blog to begin with was for me to document memories, relish in the good and the bad, and have an outlet for the craziness in my head.
So, I realize this is a random post. But I guess it's just a moment for me to remind myself what this is all about. And to chill out on being the overthinker that I am.
Why do you blog? Do you ever forget the reason you started?
I'm the same way dear and it's so hard not to get caught up in the 'big blogger' world. At least you remembered why you started blogging and are trying to stick with it, props for that! I hate it when you see people sell out.
ReplyDeleteI know I started blogging as a way to cope with big life changes. I was bored and getting over a rough patch in my life and my blog was basically my escape. It is also a great way to connect with other people in similar situations
Amen sista!!! Sometimes, I too start thinking I need to write different posts or modify what I'm saying then I remember why I started. I started as an online scrapbook so I could look back and remember the sweet day to days that get lost in the shuffle. I look forward to your posts! Speaking of...I've been wondering if you'll do one on the placenta encapsulation experience. ;)
