The Trouble with Blogging

I'm sure you've noticed that I've been not a great blogger lately. I like to tell myself that I'm too busy or that I have writer's block, but that's not it at all. I just haven't wanted to. As I have thought about why, I realize that it's twofold: there are things I don't want to write about and there are things that I'm scared to write down. Some this I just don't want to share, and some things I think will sound stupid if I share them. As if the whole world is reading this and everyone will judge me. And really, who cares if they do? The point of a blog is that it's a space where I can share my feelings and thoughts about what's important, meaningful, funny, or exciting to the me that is writing right now. So I'm making a commitment to be a better blogger. I'm not doing this because everyone wants to hear what I have to say, but because I really do enjoy doing it when I let myself just do it. So here we go. As I'm on spring break this week (and staying in Indiana this year - sarcastic "woo hoo" inserted here), what better time to start rethinking why I use (or don't use) my blog and to start writing things down again? Be prepared, reader - I'm hoping this means I'm fully back in the bloggy game!
