I originally started blogging at a time before it became the "thing" to do. Everyone in the blogiverse wrote about anything and everything. There was real life, sad, funny, down right ridiculous and informative stuff going around. Toss in a couple reviews and there it was. My online community. Then...I don't kow what happened. Everyone seemed to be blogging. Everyone was reviewing. Everyone was trying to make money. Everyone seemed to be copying someone else's style. It even got catty...really catty...like not meow fun catty but the meow-rawr-cat scratch kind of catty. But I kept on blogging. And then I just stopped. Real life didn't get hectic or stressful, it was just life. And that of course took precedence over my computer screen/keyboard. I still trolled blogs "keeping in touch" with the friends I made when I first started blogging. Everyone was getting pregnant and having babies. Everyone was starting some new business or starting to sell something.
Get to the point you say? Ok fine. I feel left out. I wanna be one of the cool kids again. I want to comment on a blog post that I can legit-ly relate to and not just comment to comment. I wanna bring back the old days of blogging...where it was fun, real, raw, and not (just) for work.
So here I am. Back. So get your socks on so I can knock them off!
Way to go! Glad to have you back in the community! Lol. I know what you mean though, it's starting to feel like nothing in the blogosphere is original anymore but as long as you're still you and you're unique, that's all that should really matter.
ReplyDeleteYay Nicole! Yeah, just jump right back in and just be you and let it start from there. yeah, started yet another blog and its much more tougher to gain any readers now a days. or they do lurk but show no love lol. I think its more skimming through pictures and trolling for more followers...its not really genuine anymore like you said. But knowing that my two bbff besties and sisters read this...im good. I dont know why i have other social platforms...I dont really use them except instagram. lol. anyways...Ive been waiting for a post from you since you and I texted about picmonkey...you still can use my account. xoxo.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the continued love on my blog tho...cant wait for more from you! love ya!
