I know this is super late and... Well... lacking and I apologize
for that. To be honest, I have been so depressed. Not because of anything in
particular or because anyone specifically did anything. Just, you now, down in
the dumps. While there are a lot of small contributors I think, for the most
part, I'm just a little overwhelmed with juggling being a mommy, wiffy,
and still giving you guys, myself, and my man the time we all need. I am so
sorry for the neglect this blog has received; I really want to get it back on
track and stat posting more often. I have always put forth my most effort into
this blog and I'm just feeling like it’s not good enough. Not good enough for
you guys, my reader and for me, it’s a struggle to please voiceless faces. I
wish more people who read this would please respond in some
way, any way! But that's simply not how it works. Apart from that, I find
myself working more and more on my photography business and while I'd love to share
those moment with you all, I'm struggling with self-doubts and insecurities (to
be frank) in most areas as of late. My one strong hold is my parenting and
because of that, I seem to be fleeing to that aspect of my life a lot now. It
is the one confident part of my recently crazy life right now. Being vocal
about this is hard but, in a way, relieving. I suppose it’s sort of like having
to go on a stage naked to see the beauty of oneself... though, for me, a much
smaller advance consider I'm not even sure if this poo blog of mine gets reader.
*sigh* Hopefully opening up like this will give me the push I need to focus
more on the little things, to stop using my adorably distracting son and
feeling like a failure as an excuse and to focus more on the little things;
like this blog. After all, how else am I going to document all these moments
(good AND bad) if I don't take the time to write them down. I can't (and won't)
promise anything about how often or how much I will blog or even if I will ever
start adding photos again to each post (>.< sorry) but I can promise
that, for the meantime, this blogs not going anywhere. I'm sticking it out even
if it means one post a month or even every other month. I want to remember
these moments, to share with others, to have passion in writing again and to
forget about the naysayers... because, after all, that is the simplicity of why
I began a blog in the first place.
This is real freaking life! Welcome to the
party because it only gets better from here. :)
Don't be down! I think the hardest thing about being a new momma is feeling like I don't accomplish anything, like the house needs to be perfect, like I should be doing more with my life, etc... Yes, pursue things that make you feel good(like the blog or photography) but don't get stuck in the supermom illusion. If the only thing you get to that day is your little man, then fine! This article made me feel alot better. http://mamaseeds.com/blog/baby-sleep-training/new-mamas-get-nothing-done-and-other-untruths/
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Melissa for the encouragement, kind words, and sweet link. It really is good to hear from other moms and know that it's not just me and actually, normal. What a blessing. ♥
