I need to take a break from blogging for a bit. I have acquired too many readers that I know on a personal level, and some issues have arisen from that fact. I feel that a blog is all about being able to be transparent and tell your feelings and other things of the sort, and if I can't do that, then what is the point?
I will still be reading your posts and commenting, and I may be back from time to time to ask for advice on a particular subject. After all, the blogging community has provided me with a wealth of knowledge. Your advice on clothing, beauty products, recipes, etc. has been invaluable, and I will continue to seek that sort of information.
Thanks to all of you who read and comment on my posts. I'll miss your comments and advice!
Well that stinks. I enjoy reading and hope you'll come back soon. I'm sorry that folks in your life have gotten hurt or upset by your blog. I always get a little scared the same thing will happen to me.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry that you're taking a break because I love reading your blog, but I understand. There've been times where I've wondered if I should go private or create a new, anonymous blog so that I can share more about what's going on in my life. I have a lot of family and friend readers, and I have to monitor what I say, too. I'll be thinking of you!
ReplyDeleteCome back soon chica! Will miss your posting!! xoxo In the meantime I will catch you on the flipside (aka FB) =)
ReplyDeleteYou need to join the dark side, Twitter!
So sad! Yes you should totally get a locked twitter account to talk with us. (:
ReplyDeleteUgggg.............I completely understand this. I definitely filter so much due to the fact that people know about my blog that I never expected to know/care about it. We'll miss you :)
ReplyDeleteOH NO :( I'll miss you! I created my public blog to "meet" new people, but I still won't post personal pictures. I still want to keep things a bit anonymous!
ReplyDeleteWhat about going private?? xoxo
ReplyDeleteSo sad. I totally understand, though. It's so hard to find the right balance.
ReplyDeleteI will miss reading your posts! I hope you will come back someday!
ReplyDeleteSo sad :( I will miss reading and hope you come back someday, but I definitely understand.
ReplyDeleteArgh! So sorry ... I'll miss reading you! Maybe you can create a new anon blog and just email all of us that you don't really know and then it can be fabulously secret ... I've seriously thought about doing that quite a few times!
ReplyDeletenoooo... i hate that but I totally know what you mean- I have had to take a lot of the personal out of my blog- or hold back on some many things I want to say or talk about. It really sucks :( I hope its just a breather and not ever because I'm really going to miss your blog my sweet!
ReplyDeleteMissing you already my friend!
ReplyDeleteOh but we will miss you :( But you whatever you need to do... we'll all be here when you feel like writing again!
ReplyDeleteHope you have fun while you're away xx
First of all, I want to say your post on WEG was really sweet!
ReplyDeleteI understand how you feel- honestly I do not tell anyone who really knows me about my blog! I like my blog life and my real life to be different- even though I am totally me on my blog-- I guess that makes me not myself in real life....
Hang in there!! As far as I see, you have never said anything that anyone should be offended by...
Oh no!! I really looked forward to reading your blog. I hope you are well and hope that you return.
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and am SO SAD that you won't be posting ... crazy how the world works, isn't it. Anyway, it's been fun to scroll through.
ReplyDeleteoxoxo

I miss you in blog world, but I just wanted to leave you a message to say GO Cocks! I know you are beyond excited!!!!
ReplyDeleteOK Emily...you must come back from your hiatus for Gamecock Baseball discussion! :-) We miss you!
ReplyDeleteThe picture of The Teals is from The State. I too was bawling as Erin was telling the story. How incredible that you know them personally. I know they have probably heard it a lot, but their son and their family have touched so many hearts and moved so many people. It just continues to amaze me and how their sweet little boy has united so many people for good. Oh here I go, crying again.
4 and 1/2 hours to go....don't know if I can stand it! :-)
Just wanted to say that I'm still thinking about you - hope you're doing OK (and yay for the Gamecocks winning the baseball national championship!!!)
ReplyDeleteI just took about a six week break from blogging. I just didn't feel like it. We'll have to do lunch and catch up one day soon!
ReplyDeleteMISS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry! :( I understand, it is definitely hard. I hope you're doing well and will get back to blogging when you're ready! :)
ReplyDeleteI struggle with this issue too! So I very much limit what I say. My post about the sorority re-do has me worried that I exposed too much and should take it down. I worry about everything these days.
ReplyDeleteAre you ready to come back yet?? :)
