Why I will never be a good blogger

1. I disappear without warning and come back with no explanation. My bad.

2. Blog scheduling? Blog planning? Blog calendar? Blog topics? What??

Try: fly by the seat of my pants and hope everything works out. I am NOT organized. 

3. I'm terrible at promoting my blog. I sometimes link up to parties, I rarely get sponsorship spots on other blogs, I never blog hop. I really don't have the energy. I cross my fingers and see what happens.

4. I get very discouraged. I am a sensitive soul, and when I get mean comments or something I want to shut down and delete my blog. 

5. Sometimes I'm just really, really lazy and don't feel like creating or posting. My {secret} doesn't help the situation in the slightest. I try not to blame everything on it but there is no escaping the truth that it is a huge part of my life and affects me in more ways I understand. Sometimes getting out of bed and showering is a productive day. 

6. I don't really bare my soul every single post. (Sometimes I try, but I get shot down.) People like it when bloggers bare their souls. People like stalking people they don't know, it's a scientific fact! I'm sure I get boring because I'm not always dumping the dirty details of my life here. 

7. I don't take awesome pictures that captivate and beg your eyes for more. No cool scenery pictures, not adorable baby pics, none of that. 

8. I lose my mojo a lot. I'll be overflowing with ideas one week and the next it'll all be gone. 

8. I don't design rooms, and I really don't come up with fabulous, creative, ground breaking ideas. And I don't have a house to makeover and show off. 

And that, my friends, is why I will never be a good blogger. I'm never gonna be one of those hot shots (not that I want to be...) but sometimes the green monster of jealousy creeps in. Sometimes it would be nice to be loved and wanted and oh so fabulous. I start thinking:

"Why can't I be popular?"

"Why can't I make a living off my blog? I work really hard on it!"

"Why did't I think of that!?"

"Why does she have so many more followers than me?"

"Why didn't anyone like this post?"

"It's not fair..."

But really, it's ok. I like my blog the way it is. I'm glad I don't have big box sponsors breathing down my neck for a post all the time. I'm glad I don't have hundreds of emails to answer every day. I love that when I just don't feel up to blogging, I don't have to blog! I feel relieved that there are not thousands of people waiting for me to come up with something brilliant. I need to stop putting pressure on myself and remember that I like my blog just the way it is. :) 

By the way, I've missed you! I haven't felt up to blogging lately, but I have been keeping my {facebook} updated. So if you actually do miss me, keep up with me there!

Peace out peeps!
