I think the love for blogging started diminishing when I began comparing my blog to everyone else's. I started to actually worry about what people thought of my blog. Did it look good enough? Were my posts interesting enough to have people come read it? How many followers do I have? What do I have to post about to get more followers? Are my pictures perfect enough? And so on. I got so caught up in what others may think about my blogging that I started blogging less, deleting posts and eventually gave up on it all together.
It's taken me a year and a half to finally realize that I am not and never was blogging for other people. I was blogging for me and my enjoyment. I am a writer. I may not be a professional, but I enjoy writing and I couldn't let myself give up on it. So this is me not giving up on it. I've wanted to restart blogging for so long, but for the life of me I could not figure out what I was going to blog about. I'm not a fashion blogger, heck it took me 4 years to go buy me some decent jeans! I couldn't be a food blogger because anything amazing I make ends up in my stomach before I can even think about taking a picture of it, let along blog about it. I ran out of ideas and thats when I realized that it's okay for me to just blog about me and my little family. One day, hopefully, my kids will open this blog up and be able to read about mom and dad and all of our adventures, mistakes and what we think are brilliant ideas! I may even get motivated to print this each year... we will see when we get there!
To all my future readers out there: You are all amazing! And even though you may only be my mom and sisters, I hope you enjoy the rawness of this blog, because this is me and my little Hunt family!
