I’m still around. Actually, I swing by and check to see if anything is new here every few days or so. I just read Chandra’s blog and had to write.

For so long this blogging community was a huge part of  my world. I met friends here – people that made me laugh, cry, and feel connected to. I don’t know what happened, but things seemed to drop off. It was frustrating.

Chandra mentioned only a couple people commented on her getting married, but said she didn’t blog for comments. She was being nice.

I blogged for blogging sake, but I also blogged for comments. When I was active here, i tried to take the time to leave something on every blog I read. I wanted people to know someone read their words. I wanted to know someone read mine. I felt that was an important part of the community aspect of blogging.

I didn’t visit every blogger’s space. Some I wandered to and they just didn’t compel me to continue reading. That’s life. It’s like life – not everyone you meet is going to be someone you choose to be friends with. I didn’t expect everyone to love my blog. (Hmph! how could they not though? – I kid, I kid)

Anyway, I craved that feedback. I gave that feedback hoping others would follow suit. It slowly dropped off. People stopped writing their own entries on a regular basis. Eventually, being active seemed pointless.

I’m not being a sniveling whiny pants or anything like that – I’m just tossing out my own observations. I guess part of the reason I keep checking back is to see if people start posting, commenting, and becoming active members again. If they do, I’ll be back in a heartbeat.

I wonder if any of the other old regulars are out there and feeling the same way?

Peace
Out
