Lately I've been thinking that I need to step back from blogging. I've often forced myself to blog every single day when I'm scrambling to put something together for lack of time or inspiration. I also had been forcing myself to try to post a craft every day and it was just a bit too much pressure for me. I started this blog a year ago this month in order to make myself feel as though I had a place in the world because I had just moved away from the only home I knew and it definitely helped because I met some amazing blog friends and found a place to share my shop and crafts. I just want to step back in order to post better material and when it is convenient for me. Blogging isn't my job and it was meant for other purposes than what it had become lately. I hope that you all understand and know that I won't disappear. I just won't be posting daily (but if I do it will be instagram photos!)
Thanks for always being such great listeners and readers, I appreciate you all!
(I'm still reading your blogs too!)
Lo

ReplyDeleteCompletely understand! It's no fun if it's overwhelming you!
ReplyDeleteAw, I will miss you! But you're right, blogging shouldn't be a chore. I haven't been able to visit other blogs as much lately and it's made me realize how much I LOVE blogging and wish I could do it all day long!
ReplyDeletewill miss you sweetie. it isn't fun when things start to get overwhelming or feeling forced. you should post when you feel inspired. you will get some much more out if it and so will we!
ReplyDeletexo,

I know some bloggers who post everyday and it is part of their routine - it works for them. But I could never do that! I try to strike a balance between keeping it up regularly and not forcing myself too much or blogging just for the sake of it. It's a tough balance to strike!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely take a break and just allow it to become a pleasure again. Hopefully we'll see some more of your lovely posts in the near future :)
You ladies are great and really inspire me! I'll miss you all too but I'll try to stay up to date on all of you!! Thanks for all of your support!!
ReplyDeleteIt's so important to do what works for you! Good luck with everything :D
ReplyDeleteGirl, do what you need to do! There are so many chores we have to take care of in life anyway; let this be a joy and not an obligation :)
