take 2

Hey there...remember the time I said I was going to start blogging again? Epic fail.

Over the last couple of months I have really struggled with the whole blogging thing. When I worked in corporate America it was such a big part of my everyday life and really was what made the workday bearable. So when I left and didn't put as much time into reading and commenting on other blogs, I felt like my own blog wasn't worth it. If I couldn't put in the time to keep up with comments it just seemed...rude....I don't know if that makes sense to anyone. I guess I just didn't want to do it if I couldn't blog and comment everyday like I used to.

Through all this I genuinely missed writing the blog and well as interacting with all the bloggy friends I had made, so I stalked in silence and began mental posts that I never finished.

Then it hit me...I was putting all this pressure on myself for no reason. Blogging has always been something I have done for myself so it shouldn't matter if I can't post everyday or (as much as I would like to) leave a thoughtful comment on every blog I read. I just want to have fun with this.

I also hope by taking away the daily pressure I will be able to be myself more on this blog. Not saying I was fake in the past but I do think sometimes I got caught up in trying to write in a certain style or on certain topics that I thought would appeal to my "readers."

So I realize that this is kind of rambling, but I felt like I should put it out there before I start up again. I am just going to do "me" here. For those of you who used to read I hope you stick around, I can't wait to "catch up" with you all. To any new people...welcome and enjoy!

P.S. I am sort of feeling a blog name change and makeover...does anyone have any ideas? How did you come up with your blog's name?
