Backed Up

I've mentioned it before... but I'll say it again. It kills me to read a blog post that starts with, "It's been for.ev.er since I've blogged!" or the like. It bothers me so much, that I've started deleting blogs from my blog roll if I find one post starting with an apology for not writing daily. Let's be honest, blogging is hard. It's hard for the same reason keeping a journal is hard, it takes thought, and time, and pictures. {my biggest downfall is pictures! If I don't have a picture of something, I feel like I can't blog it.} There are times when I feel like I don't have much to say because my life may not be super exciting at that moment. Or {my case lately}, I might be so on-the-go and so busy that I have tons of stuff to write about, but no time to write it.
 

Remember last year when for six months MissPrissMorgan was silent? {insert cricket chirps} I was living life! I was doing a lot of fun things: dating, making new friends, traveling, making mistakes, enjoying my hobbies, and riding on the backs of motorcycles with cute boys - but I didn't have time to document it. When I finally would have time to write, I'd feel really overwhelmed by everything I had to say. I'd try doing that thing where I back-tracked the daily goings on of the last few months, and let me tell you, what came out was nothing but rambling brain vomit. So I stopped. I lived, and I didn't document any of it.
 

It makes me sad that I don't have that window of time written down, but not sad enough to stress over the act of remembering, and then writing it, and then putting pictures with it. For those bloggers who are constantly stressing that they missed blogging about their family dinner, or baby's first burp, stop. It's ok. Don't worry about back-tracking, just start fresh when you have some time.
