It's like writer's block, but on a blog.
I can not think of one single thing to post about, and when I do try to write, it feels totally negative and depressing. And it's left me wondering why I have a blog in the first place.
I think I started blogging as a place to share a glimpse into my life. A place to share my feelings and thoughts - I had this idea of "keeping it real". I wanted to be a voice of reality amidst the sea of staged and photoshopped lives. You know, those blogs that leave you feeling inadequate and dissatisfied. I wanted to write a blog that let people see into my not-so-perfect life and feel better because they weren't alone. Plus, I really like writing
Lately, though, as I post more and more of my projects, I worry that my blog has taken on a "look-how-great-I-am" feel. I'm sorry if it has. I'm embarrassed if it has.
It's just that my "project posts" are the only thing I can think of to post that don't feel like such a downer...
I just don't want to come off as a narcissist.
So I'll work on trying to find the balance until I can get back into a more emotionally stable place.
