I think the main reason why I've been contemplating stopping this blog is because of a few really awful comments I've received. Not even about recent posts, necessarily, but the comments were received recently. Some of them are really terrible. Some I've deleted, some I haven't. I can delete them if I choose to, because this is MY blog and I govern what is allowed to be written here. But I believe everyone is entitled to their opinions, as am I, and so I do leave some of the comments.
But I feel as though this blog as it originally was started does not pertain to my life anymore. Which is probably all the more reason I should keep it, just to repeatedly show myself and anyone who cares to look just how far I've come in a fairly short space of time.
I am really not sure where this start-over desire is coming from. I guess I'll have to think about it.
Missing this face today.
Will it be tough to find you again if you start anew?
ReplyDeleteNo, I would probably make a post about it. LOL!
DeleteI can relate to this a lot Kate
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm so sorry that you have received some nasty comments
I can understand your need to stop blogging
I felt like that too after I got some horrible comments
But you know what?
That says way more about the commenter than it does about us
Hate often comes from a place of insecurity
And some nasty people don't like others to do well
It could be jealousy
Or it could be just down right nastiness
Either way
Don't be bullied by these people
They are faceless
Nameless people
Who get their kicks out of putting others down
I would say don't let this be a knee jerk reaction
Let yourself settle
And then really think about if you want to stop blogging or not
I'm blogging since 2012 too
And even though I get the odd hateful comment
Most of the feed back I get is positive
Don't make a decision when you are feeling so hurt
Let the dust settle
Sleep on it
You may feel differently then
And just for the record
You would be missed
I have so much respect and admiration for you
And I would miss you a lot x
Those are all really good points. I'm not planning to stop blogging here.. or at all, for that matter! I couldn't be without it, I don't think, after so many years! I just don't understand why people feel the need to hate and create hate. Makes no sense. Oh well.
DeleteBut thank you! I am always starstruck every time you comment my blog haha. xo!
I guess I should finally speak up. I have been following you ever since I searched for EDCP. I stumbled across your blog and haven't looked back. Just followed for the past 2.5 years. I think you should keep it, it's helpful to see people's lives with the joy AND struggles.
