I began writing this blog over two years ago.
I've been down in the dumps and written very dark posts and I have been H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S-L-Y entertaining.
I've hosted reviews and giveaways of what I consider to be top notch products-books-services.
Over the past year, I feel as though I have gotten lost in the shuffle in this blog world and I'm sad.
I'm jealous of some of the other bloggers I have met over the years who are going above and beyond and have made something of themselves in this thing we call a community.
I admit it. I'm jealous.
For those of you who don't know, I started a new blog, so as not to clog this one up with all kinds of Bipolar mood swings.
Maybe one of these days I'll get back to where I want to be.
For now, I'll continue to read your blogs and comment when I can, and try to keep the jealousy to a minimum.
In the meantime, if you have started doing "bigger things", please leave me a comment so I can catch up with what that is.
I think we all kinda get stuck in feeling left out when it comes to other PPD moms. It's like we've determined that there's the "cool kids", & for the first time in life, I'm not one of "them".
ReplyDeleteOh wait--guess I just explained how you're not alone in your feeling this way!
PS. I read both of your blogs. :)
PPS. For some reason, I'm unable to log into my Wordpress for this comment. I'm Valerie-PPD Turned Bipolar Mom (blog), Lookin4MyHappy (twitter)
It's hard not to be jealous, when your used-to-be fellow small fry get big. But maybe someday our ships will come in, yes?
ReplyDeleteI for one enjoy reading your blog :). I guess the jealousy depends on what you want from blogging. Some of the people I've seen with huge followings seem quite boring to me, and I have no idea why so many are interested in their blogs.
ReplyDeleteThe only time I wish I had more followers is when I think about how I'd like to do a weekly blog hop, but there's no point because I don't have enough readers to make it successful.
I'm sorry to hear you feeling pressured, but I understand it's a little frustrating to see others achieving what you'd like to do.
Um... I've got nothing "bigger" over here--same old same old!!! I go in spurts and maybe you do too!!
