I mean, everyone's telling me I'm hilarious, SO WHY DOESN'T EVERYONE LOVE ME? Stupid and egotistical, but there it is. But honestly, a big part of my blogging was just because I have a writing compulsion. I've always HAD to write something. For a long time I channeled this into my journal (I have, like, twenty volumes since middle school), but then I found blogging. But once I started writing my book, I found that I didn't NEED my blog so much. Which was nice. I had been getting really obsessive on my stats and comments, and it didn't feel great to link my self-worth to it so much. Now I blog because I don't want to lose the memories/photos, and to update distant relatives a bit. But I've finally accepted I'm never going to be a famous blogger and I've made my peace with it. I love reading your blog, though, I hope you never get burned out! It's probably creepy how well I feel like I know you now. Also, sorry to be creepy commenting on a really old post. I'm just creeping all over the place!Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17145867151018295039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2796642315326266217.post-73064121110043727492014-06-25T05:46:28.635-07:002014-06-25T05:46:28.635-07:00Yeah I don't want to put money into my blog ei...Yeah I don't want to put money into my blog either. If I was eventually going to make money that would be one thing, but I'm just not willing to make that happen!Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06520199684836826209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2796642315326266217.post-26319843243469345242014-06-24T16:10:55.815-07:002014-06-24T16:10:55.815-07:00I feel the same way.

But, to get, you have to give, and the biggest thing I'm not willing to give is money. I don't want to put a lot of money into my blog. I put a lot of time into it, but that's because I am fostering friendships with it and it's a fun hobby for me. But, other than that.....Tayler Morrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15451482104180503209noreply@blogger.com
