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.
I like this. I haven't blogged for a while, but I need to get my head straight first!
ReplyDeleteVery true - beautiful analogy xx
ReplyDeleteaww honey this is really beautiful and so very true we are all very different creatures
ReplyDeleteBlogging is hard sometimes isn't it. I think we all go through spells where we struggle with it x
ReplyDeleteI think that it an evolution and that everyone cares about the stats at the beginning.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteGlad you don't stress about blogging and stats anymore, blogging is such a wonderful thing and it can bring so much joy if you don't let things get you down x
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful analogy and really well put x
ReplyDeleteYes, stats are largely ignored by myself these days - far less stressful!
ReplyDeleteso true
ReplyDeleteBlogging is hard work. This post is so inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBlogging 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).
ReplyDeleteIt'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
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post - blogging seems to be so full of stress sometimes that we forget why we started. x
ReplyDeleteAwww, lovely post. Blogging is very stressful sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI love your pictures of butterflies. I think blogging is like anything and can get stressful at times but I have made some great friends through blogging
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos & blogging is hard. I think you have to do it for you & what you want it to be x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Blogging can be tough but when you write for yourself it can also be wonderful too.
ReplyDeleteYes, 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
