He’s losing interest. Just over a week after my last post, I was asked a question about why I don’t post anymore. My answer is that I don’t post to get attention. I don’t post to prove anything, but rather to be present in the moment. I don’t post to prove I’m a good person, or to prove I have something to say or share.
I think there is a fine line between being present in the moment and just being present. I’ve found that staying present to the moment is more important than making any kind of grand statement about what you think or how you feel. Im just not going to get in the way of the moment to show that I’m worth anything.
One of the things that I like best about blogging is that I can say something that I want to say without having to take a time out to think about it. I can say what I want then keep it on my mind for a while, and when I’m ready to post a post, I can still tell you all how I feel without having to take a moment to think about it.
One of the things that I really value about this blog is knowing that I really don’t have to think about it. I can just tell you how I feel and that makes me feel a little more in control of the conversation. It’s not always pretty (though I’m sure there are some things I’d like to say more about), but that’s the beauty of blogger, and that’s why I love it.
Of course, it’s not always pretty. There will be times when I will not be able to take the time to post my thoughts without having to start all over again. That means I have to worry about things like the weather, my health, the time of the month, and so on. That’s just part of the deal.
I think it is safe to say that stress is one of the main reasons I am blogging at all. The other two are the lack of sleep (no more time to sleep) and the fact that I have been doing so much other stuff in my life, that I have not given a thought to blogging. In my defense I am trying to blog more than I usually do. I am also trying to get more involved in my community and to really be more of a part of the thing.
My blogging habits are a bit different. I use a computer almost daily, but I rarely blog, preferring to talk about things rather than write them down. I also try to write more than I used to, because I feel I can write more effectively when I have more to say. One of the reasons I am blogging more is because I’m starting to feel less stressed, and that I am finding more time for myself.
It’s true that blogging is one of the most stressful things you can do, but it’s also one of the most beneficial things you can do. By writing it is you showing your community how much you care about what they have to say. You are also showing them that you are willing to put in the time to interact with them and to actually listen to their problems and needs. Blogging also makes you more visible and available for people to find, and also makes you a lot more vulnerable.
I think I’ve always had this problem. I’m not sure if it’s because I write too often (maybe it’s because I write a lot), or if it’s just that I have this tendency to get stressed out when I write. But lately I’ve been getting stressed out and it’s also getting harder to write about things I actually care about.
It’s understandable that our posts about your problems aren’t very interesting and will likely be ignored, because they don’t really matter. But if you are having a problem and your posts are actually helping a lot of people, they will be remembered.
