with blogging.
(no, i'm not going to spill about my deepest personal problems right now...although i will gladly admit to having issues.)
so i stopped blogging for awhile because
a) i didn't have a whole lot i wanted to share.
b) i didn't have time or didn't feel like taking the time.
c) i'm in a couple group blogs where i do most of my sharing. and finally...the main reason
d) the issue i have with blogging. which is this:
one can make their blog whatever they want it to be. giving advice, asking for advice, life diary, sharing videos/great finds/current events, or for a mission purpose like awareness of sex trafficking or orphans (or both for that matter)
so i found myself caught in a trap of not liking any of the options for what my blog could be. i couldn't ramble off my deepest thoughts and opinions unless i wanted to make it private b/c unfortunately some people care too much about others lives (and not in a good way). i felt dumb just giving diary-like entries b/c that's boring. only my sisters and close friends are going to care about my failed exam for instance. and i found myself blogging or not blogging certain things based on people i knew read or could read my blog. which definitely takes the fun out of it.
i honestly haven't come to any sort of conclusion.
i still don't know what i think.
i'm becoming private enough that i'm not sure i even want to blog about where i live/what i do/who i do things with. and for confidentiality/privacy i can't blog about work anyways.
i am passionate about a few things and of course have my soap boxes...but not enough to devote a blog to it.
i never search the web for fun video clips, i never read the news. i know literally nothing about current events or politics (ya, mature...i know-but i think i would be less likeable if i always talked about politics...right?)
BUT...i did miss it when i took a break. every once-in-awhile during the summer i had some extra time and it sounded like fun to sit down and blog...(could i say blog anymore in this post?)
so here you have yet another pointless post...luckily i have a few faithfuls to keep my motivation.
until next time...(don't hold your breath)

Wow you pretty much just voiced all of my feelings about blogging... hence the reason my blog has been very uninteresting/unupdated lately!
But, I missed it for the short time I quit too, soooo..... are we addicted? :)
Hey Emily... I have to say that for individuals who live a far distance from friends & family that your blog & others are very uplifting to me :). I hope you are loving and or growing at your new job. Love, J
For what it's worth, I don't need to know your personal/deepest thoughts and troubles to be interested in what you have to say. =) I just like to keep up and most of the time I have to do that in front of this screen while my baby naps or on the phone. =) I hope you are well.
