And it can ...Blogging is definitely time consuming. And it can be overwhelming. Even when you are not posting content you still want to catch up on blogs and that is very time consuming as well. And it usually takes 30-60 minutes to write a post. Depending on how much content and photos you are adding. So, it does take a huge chuck of time and is something you have to be passionate about or it won't survive. Also I agree on the privacy issue. I try not to share anything on my blog that I would care if people I know might read. However, I feel like my blog friends know me better then some people IRL do. But, it is always a thin line.

I have finally found a way to make it stay fun for me. I only blog when I have something to say. I only sponsor people I love to read, and only accept sponsors from people I can relate to. If I don't have time, I don't blog. No apologies.

Especially if it's someone I've been reading since way before I started a blog of my own. It's weird! You expect them to be around forever or something. Plus it's strange how you can feel connected to someone after reading about their life for so long, and then poof! You no longer have any idea what they're up to (and should you really want to know that?) Okay, lots of weird thoughts on this.

Even so, I love blogging! And it's just so sad when we see some of our favorite blogs fall away.Lynsey @ Eternally Wanderlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13515849093918220265noreply@blogger.com
