Oh, hey there.
For months I've been thinking about downgrading my blog account because I just don't blog anymore. Typepad has been an awesome tool for me. I've been very happy with their service. But after months of no new posts, and then... Continue reading

i've been following your blog for quite some time but this is my first time commenting. i've been blogging for 8 or 9 years now. i honestly don't know anymore. my blog has always been a creative outlet for me as my work doesn't really allow me to express myself that way. i used to have a lot of readers, i used to post regularly, but with other social media out there, my readership has dwindled. and that's ok. like lina said, i blog for myself. and there are times i go weeks with nary a peep. and that's ok. i think this should be fun. and too often once we make something we love doing obligatory we lose that element of fun.
i am going to follow you in instagram. what i really like most is looking at pretty pictures. and i love these shots of new york.
whatever you decide, best to you.
Lately
I would like to preface this by saying that this is not a complaint, it is a reflection. I am struggling here. I cannot fathom how anyone could possibly have a full-time job and maintain a blog at the same time. Kudos to you if you do it. Large, grandiose kudos if you're spending your entire ...
No Time!
