@outofworkmama, I understand you may have felt that way about it, however I feel that telling someone “you are not funny anymore” is kind of bitchy. I believe you when you say you didn’t mean it that way, but if you say you meant to be constructive it just makes you sound patronizing instead of bitchy. I don’t know that that’s better.

I’m not saying you are either one of those things – my point is that passing judgment on someone’s writing when they share something personal and stuff is not really nice IMO. We all struggle with expressing our emotions and with making our blogs something that someone else may like to read, and I think that being honest doesn’t have to translate into being harsh. Even “constructive” remarks can be hurtful.

I could have written this myself. In fact I recently tried, but yours is better. I don’t want to give up “my tiny space” here in the blogosphere, but I don’t want certain people to intrude, and that’s exactly how it feels, like an intrusion.

But PLEASE, if you do change over to a different blog, I would LOVE to continue reading.

Oh. I so understand. I had to revamp my blog, archive what I didn’t want on a new subdomain, give myself a new theme and a new focus… and write in a different style.

What is it about accomplishing your goal (in my case, I earned my BA) that sends us spiraling into identity confusion?

Just promise you won’t disappear from the Internet, because I just recently found you & that would be SO UNFAIR.

People who take actual time out of their day to leave random, hateful comments on blogs are shit-eating assholes. The End.

Amanda,

I’m sorry to read about your current dilemma. I kind of know the feeling. My own is the “fun and flirty wedding and lifestyle” blog, but after my cousin was diagnosed with a form of blood cancer earlier this year it’s been hard to always be fun and/or flirty. I’ve kept references to blood cancers to a minimum, posting enough to raises awareness but not so much as to freak people out. It’s been a difficult balance figuring out how to evolve my blog with what has transpired in life. It’s a struggle but I think I’m doing ok, not great but am definitely doing my best. I think if you keep your current blog, as a reader and fan I will continue reading and enjoying because I’ll know you’re doing your best as you sort through your feelings. It may take practice, or a new blog, or reverting back to your original sassiness but whatever you choose it’s moving forward and evolving from where you are right now and that’s a good thing.

@Haley-O (Cheaty),
Thank you for the comment. I think my problem is that I know how much I’ve changed as a person since I started this blog. I’m trying to figure out where and how to go from here. Thanks again for the awesome comment. It was fabulous and very inspiring.

@Liz,
I actually blogged on livejournal privately for about 5 years before I started here. I loved it. I do something along those lines or put up a locked sub-blog on here.
