To Blog or Not To Blog?

I feel like that's the big question I'm always asking myself.  Every time I come back from a mysterious disappearance from the blog world, I say that I'm going to make a come back and try and get back into the swing of things and stick around.  And well, I've said that about 3-4 times over the last few months and my comeback has never lasted more than a handful of posts.   

I just don't know what it is.  BUT . . . I keep wanting to come back.

Things are definitely different for me now in comparison to when I started blogging.  I have a lot of my plate.  Over the past few months, I've made the absolute best of my summer!  I've done so many amazing things that have keep me busy 24/7 but I have to admit that I kinda miss having this place to share it.  Now that school is starting, I'll go back to working 3 jobs.  It's really a lot to handle and I'm just afraid if I try to start up again that I won't be able to stick around.

Honestly, I don't even know why I'm rambling away.  I guess I wanted to be real with you guys and just fill you in on where I disappeared to.  I am so grateful to all my loyal readers who have stuck around and haven't unfollowed when there were no updated posts in the feed.  My blog has even continued to grow with followers in my absence and that amazes me.  I think that's what encourages me the most to find a way to make a comeback because I do love the blogging community and all the friends I've made!

So with that being said, I'm not really sure what this blog's future holds but I appreciate each and every one of you who have supported me on this journey!  You rock! 

And well since there are no rules here in the blogging world,  I may be popping up again soon!  You just never know! ;)

Until next time!  XOXO

I can totally relate. There are times when I manage to blog M-F, and times when I can't manage to post more than once in a week. Life takes over sometimes! I hope you're back to posting regularly, but I'm not going anywhere either way!

I feel the same way sometimes too. But you know what, it's your life and your blog, do whatever YOU need to do and what feels right :)

So glad you are enjoying your summer love and my advice is to keep the blog, but just blog when you want to! I too went through a time when I wanted to shut down my blog, but I am so glad that I did not! Your blog will remain and as you said the bloggers will stick around if they truly love you, which I do! ;) Focus on blogging when you feel like blogging and everything will fall into place.

I was happy to see a post from you in my reader :)

I know what you mean, I definitely get in a blogging funk from time to time. I'm in one now, where I feel like I have nothing to write about or I'm too busy to write.

It'll come back to you, and we'll still be here for ya! ;)

I know, I feel the exact same. I know I have lots to work on, I need better writing, most posts, a better layout etc. It seems so overwhelming. I also don't have many followers which leads me to think no one is really reading my blog. Lately, I have posted my blog posts on twitter so then I have friends read my post and I wonder what they think. Is what I am doing just silly & should I leave it to the pros & just continue reading good blogs as opposed to writing my own ..

Decisions, decisions..

I wanted to let you know, you should stay! I love your blog & have been a follower for quite some time. You will find you niche again soon ..

Happy blogging :)
