A Blog Is Like A Butterfly


A blog is like a butterfly a rare and gentle thing, well depending on what you are blogging about. Now I don't stress about what I do any more I just do it , if I want to blog everyday I will . I have a following of which I'm glad , sometimes blogging is hard and I feel like throwing in the towel  but I don't I relax rest and rewind.

Blogging is a support net work  / diary for me but others it might be something different. Once I think I was on the dark side of stressing about my blog stats , I'm sure if there was a blogger t shirt that said " knickers to stats " I 'd wear it. 

Choosing a blog to read is like magazine selection there is so much choice. And if you read mine then thank you , I'm very grateful.

Through blogging I have lost much ~ friendship wise due to my depression but you can't please all the people all the time. The upside I've a huge support of friends who have got my back and like wise.

People need to remember a blog is like a butterfly a rare and gentle thing.

  6. I have always remembered a fact about butterflies, that they have a struggle to get out of their cocoon - they have to push through and spread their wings and that the red 'blood' like stuff that they emit as they push and struggle is part of them spreading their wings. They have to go through this struggle - it is necessary for them to fly. Without the struggle their wings are not strong enough for them to fly. The struggle strengthens them. It is necessary. I have found in my personal life that the growth is always in the struggle.

  11. Blogging can be hard but rewarding too. I've given up worrying about stats and just write about what makes me happy (or what makes me sad if I feel the need to offload).

  12. It's definitely not worth stressing about. I think it is a fragile thing, and people should have respect for why people choose to do it. I like how you look at it

  18. Yes, Claire, I totally agree. Blogging reveals the soul and many people can't endure the bearing and leave our lives. Fortunately, as you say, blogging is also a way of finding like-minded people who will most likely stay in your life through thick and thin...Gain some, lose some, as with everything in life. I enjoy reading your blog and love your travel posts and pics.xx
