I'm writing this post today to say hello, and to give a little bit of an update. I've always been so confused by the way that some bloggers or internet types just seem to DISAPPEAR. It's like, one day they are here, and active and all over the twitter and the blogs and the internets and then... Nothing. It's always been really weird to me, like, seriously, how hard is it to just pop onto the blog and say, Peace out.
Well, now I understand it much better. Because... Looks like I just did that. It's hard to get on and write any kind of goodbye post, at least for me, because I haven't actually decided if I DO want to stop blogging... I just renewed my domain name, because I'm just not ready to make that choice yet. There is a part of me that REALLY wants to get back into blogging, and another part of me that's just done. I haven't decided which of those two parts of me get to win yet, but I do know that it will quite probably be a little while longer before I officially decide.
There's lots of reasons for that, not the least of which being that I've actually read less than 20 books this whole year, and 80% of those were in January and February. I started a new job earlier this year that's really time and energy consuming and I'm so emotionally exhausted by the time I get home that I'm just not in the mood to read. Add to the new job stress some family drama and other... stuffs and I'm far too overwhelmed to also add any sort of blogging into the mix.
But now, I'm remembering how relaxing and FUN it was to blog, and be part of that community. And I've been really missing books lately and missing the blog and the blogging people. And I make absolutely no promises, but I've been thinking lately that reading (and maybe blogging too) might be exactly that release and relaxation that I NEED in order to reduce that overwhelmed feeling.
So we shall see. I have no idea what the future of my internet-ness is going to be... But at least I'm not one of those mysteriously missing any longer.
Oh, and also- Merry Christmas!!

Good to see you. Sometimes it's difficult when lots is going on in your life, I feel like blogging is always my thing which falls by the wayside when I'm low on time.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas
Do we get to vote? :)
ReplyDeleteWhile I definitely hope that you do decide reading is just the outlet you need to help control stress - I certainly understand if you decide otherwise.
Either way, you should definitely pop onto Twitter to say hi now and then...I miss my Ashley!
It's good to hear from you again! I understand life taking over all your time. I selfishly want you to decide to continue blogging, or at least being a part of the community, but you need to do what works best for you. *hugs*
ReplyDeleteI've definitely missed seeing you around the blogosphere, Ashley! But totally understand how life can get in the way. Even if you only posted occasionally I would definitely still love to check out those posts! Hope things get less stressful for you in 2013, and Happy New Year :)
ReplyDeleteI so understand! The blogging community is wonderful, but it's terribly time-consuming to keep up with everyone. I've been trying to find a balance which for me means that I have some blogging weeks and other weeks where I just can't check in at all. You'll figure out what works for you. Best wishes in 2013!
ReplyDeleteI know exactly how you feel because I was in the same boat for most of 2012. To blog or not to blog, that is the question!
ReplyDeleteOn the one hand, I really missed it. I missed the people/community, the books, the opportunities to be involved...but on the flip side I did not miss the work involved or being a slave to my computer. I was torn for a while and decided that until the time comes to quit, then I will get back into it.
Blogging is such a personal experience and a person can only do/give as much as they can! You come back when you're good and ready :)

This internet site seems to recieve a great deal of visitors. How do you get traffic to it? It gives a good unique spin on things. I guess having some thing authentic or substantial to post about could be the most important factor.
