I've started a new post about 10 times in the past week, but I just don't really know what to write about. Sometimes I feel so much pressure to be a "creative blogger" and most of the time I feel like I fail at it.
Lately all I want to blog about is the baby, my belly, the nursery, and my family.
But then I think,
"come on Rachel, people don't want to see any more pictures
of your belly or the nursery...
of your belly or the nursery...
you better think of something else to write about."
Isn't that the silliest thing in the world?
Why on earth would I care what kind of blogger I am, or how many people read it, or if anyone even likes it?
But I do.
"Rachel, you're ridiculous."
I often read other people's blogs and think,
"wow, they're really creative"
"wow, they have a really exciting life"
"wow, I wish I could travel as much as they do"
"I wish I could take pictures like they do"
"why didn't I think of that?"
I must be crazy. Who cares?!
I admire those people who blog just because they want the record for their families, and not because they're trying to please an audience. I want to be more like that. I want to be able to write thoughts and opinions and comings and goings just because they're on my mind, not because I hope they're interesting enough to read.
And funny enough, those are the blogs I like the best.
Honest. Real. Simple. Life.
I don't have to change, and I don't want anyone else's life.
I am perfectly happy and content, and abundantly blessed.
I couldn't ask for anything more.

AMEN SISTA!! My blog is boring! I just blog to keep a record and I hardly have anyone commenting. but I dont care. most days. I know the feeling though. But since I have been blogging, going on my third year, i notice that EVERYONE compares themselves in the blogging world. and that is THE ONLY reason why I hate it. So if you dont get over that, (even though I do it too), blogging will not be fun for you to do anymore!! Love you face. Hope all is well. My ribs hurt. How bout yours?

ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I totally agree. I think EVERYONE feels that way, to some extent or another, and a lot of times a lot more! I think that's a good mentality to have. Life may be simple and boring, but what is better than babies, families, and things like that? I saw your blog had a new post and the first thing I thought was, "Yay! A really fun post to read about! I hope she has a preggo update!" And don't ever compare yourself to other moms, or think that you should have a better time at being a mom or a failure if, when you have a baby, you can't blog about your baby sleeping through the night at three weeks or nursing perfectly--life isn't perfect, but we all tend to compare and think that everyone else's is... when in reality, we all are trying to figure things out! So that's my soapbox rant... Thanks for letting me share it on your blog:).
ReplyDeleteI completely know what you mean. Rest assured... I love your blog. I like to hear people's everyday thoughts. I write mostly for my husband because he thinks I'm funny and I like to make him laugh. Anyway, keep on writing and I'll keep reading.
