If I’m being honest I’ve held back from being TOO honest lately. I know I’ll never be everyone’s cup of tea. As a blogger that’s a reality you have to face. I’ve been talked about, judged & misunderstood. Sometimes people we like a lot press the unfollow button. As stupid & childish it may sound it sometimes leaves us butt hurt & questioning why. I thought about giving up on my blog. But then I think about when it was put on my heart back in 2014, the hard work put in, things I’ve learned & dreams I have for it. The dreams thing may sound cheesy but there is a lot more to blogging than a lot of people know. I’ve had people tell me in real life & through messages that things I’ve shared have helped them out. What’s funny is, many times it’s been from people I never even knew paid attention. I don’t share that to brag. I only say that because what some people may not understand or find annoying about what you do may be a blessing to someone else. Know that behind everything a blogger does involves a lot of heart & creativity. Many of us also wear our hearts on our sleeves. It’s easy to feel squashed after doing all that when you find out about someone saying something not very nice or noticing someone you thought you had a good connection with peace out. I’m aware some people will hate this post & then there are some who will be able to relate to it. Just like a baker is passionate about making those cool cakes you see all over Pinterest, bloggers are passionate about what they do. I’ve definitely been in a place of feeling like I’m failing more than I am succeeding. There it is, me getting a little more honest. No matter what people think or say I’ve been working on staying true to myself. It’s so easy for me to share with others how uniquely purposed they are. I know some pretty awesome humans! The challenge I have is seeing uniqueness & purpose in myself lately. These past few months I’ve been dealing with heavy stuff. I know I’ve mentioned that here & there & I try to stay away from over sharing because that can be easy for me. Some days I’ll be in a weird head space & emotions are a whirlwind. Then other days persevering comes easier. With [cont’ in comments]
