A person by the name of RandomEncouragement sent me an offline yesterday - "You are an amazing person, and a lovely writer. Your blog is well loved. Please don't give up on it. <3" - and I think it was a pick me up that I really needed...
It's a long story, but I now have a feeling of, I guess you could call it, Peace and Happiness?!
I've always said that my blog is something I do for me, if people don't like it then they don't have to read it and there are plenty of other blogs out there where people can get more of a fashion fix than my rant space. Yet for some reason, I listened to others talking about stuff they were working on and allowed myself to forget the real passion that I have for playing around with photography and letting my thoughts flow freely without restrictions! I let feelings of blah affect the way I think and I was seriously on the point of closing my blog.
I voiced my thoughts to a few, many told me not to give up something I enjoy and suggested that I should either get back on the horse - which I did with my delirious post - or take a break... One even threatened with slappage, if I did something so silly... I'm glad they did... I get up to a lot at the moment, exploring and shopping and the like, but a majority of it is centered around my blog... Where would I be without it?! Yet messages like the one from RandomEncouragement really boost my confidence - especially after being accepted as a blogger for SongBird - I was floating on cloud nine... My blog is here to stay!!!
To the mastermind behind RandomEncouragement... I don't know who you are and don't even want to try to work out if I know you, but you've really made one slightly down-in-the-dumps blogger dust off her blogger brain and get back on track! My mojo is back, and the smile that goes with it too... Thank you for taking the time to send a message as lovely as this, and thank you for being a lovely person in a world that is sometimes less than wonderful to pick people up when they fall! Whoever you are, you are awesome!

ReplyDeleteI think you are such, such a talent. Keep writing, keep blogging and keep being exactly who you are. Remember, there is no contest...this is not a race. Do your thing until that moment you no longer want to. Stop then, but not because you don't feel good enough because that could not be any further from the truth. Don't forget you owe me a collaboration blog.

We all have those voices occasionally that make us doubt why we do these things. But you have written about it far more eloquently than I can as I've been pondering the last couple of days about what to say.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm glad you've found that purity of mind that comes with doing things because you want to do them. I for one am so pleased you write and create and share your perspective. Even if I'm not around to comment on every post, I do read them all.
Sorry to hear you got a case of the blogger blues (I can totally relate), but I happy you didn't close up shop. I <3 your blog and posts!
ReplyDeleteThat RandomEncouragement account is such a sweet thing in the land of drama llamas in SL. Kudos to whoever is behind it.
