For me it took me awhile to realize the feelings were coming from the fact that I had told the story that I had set out to tell. I was finished. The story was exciting to write about as it was unfolding, and I wish I had recognized the end sooner, because for months and months after I was just going through the motions because people were still around. It became forced. <br /><br />I think you are in a cool position to decide what story you want to tell next. Good luck!

I'm just selfish, I'd like to get to know you better. And while I love what you share, I'd welcome more wordy postings. Honestly since we're getting a say, I'd love more of your personal style as well as your words. Whenever I catch a glimpse of your lovely self, I'm delighted and inspired. <br /><br />I know it must be difficult to have a personal blog associated with a business, but I find that the more folks strive to be themselves online, the less fatigued they get. Projecting an image, is hard work. That's at least been my experience. <br /><br />Some bloggers I started following way back in the day, who have since made their way to the more commercial side of blogging, seem to have definitely succumbed to the kind of automaton-blogging that keeping a perfect image makes for. Outfit post-cute event-stuff-outfit post-cute event-other stuff...Personal opinions and events and controversial ideas at a minimum. <br /><br />Take time, write, do whatever you'd like. It's your space and we're just happy to be here.<br /><br />I'm so glad you wrote this, it's a lovely piece of your mind. <br /><br />Millahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02078509975778101344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8159818817339386715.post-59241697787389261042012-10-16T19:38:44.340-07:002012-10-16T19:38:44.340-07:00My iPad wont let me spell check sorry!grrrMy iPad wont let me spell check sorry!grrrAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8159818817339386715.post-67168001896771388702012-10-16T19:38:13.964-07:002012-10-16T19:38:13.964-07:00I agree wry everything you said and have had the I...I agree wry everything you said and have had the Instagram heartache if I see something and my phone is not handy,Our world is very materialistic especially Instagram.Countless photos of things people own is tiring and frankly uninteresting in the grand scheme of things. <br /><br />A man jumped from space...now that's cool!;)<br /><br />Write what ou want to write and post as you wish-its YOUR space to do what ere you wish with it.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8159818817339386715.post-5053135465682632752012-10-15T13:24:38.885-07:002012-10-15T13:24:38.885-07:00Bloggers tend be introspective people, so it shoul...Bloggers tend be introspective people, so it should come as no surprise that we're the ones who take issue with the falseness of it all. Hard to always be "connected" / hard to be unconnected. I, unlike you, don't have a business to worry about, just my writing. And blogging helps it, tremendously. But I so understand where you're coming from. I will say, however, that the reason I've always loved your internet persona remains the same - it feels genuine, you write thoughtfully and well, and you've just got something different. Now lots of people think so. For what it's worth.

I think w...Man, this post really resonates with me. I think when you reach some sort of saturation point with social media, you take a step back and question your involvement with it. On one or many levels. And your comment about the sunset and Instagram - yes, absolutely. Rather than emmersing yourself in the present real life experience, you sometimes find yourself preempting what that would look like as a happy snap...so to speak. I thought I might give up Blogger for a while but now I find I come back for the writing. I still love photography blogs, but my favourite posts are those that are fresh and well-written, no matter what the topic. And a great capture supported by the perfect quote, extract from a novel or original thought - well, for me that is always worth coming back for. I just don't visit as often. You are a natural born writer, so more wordy is good, Jessica. That said, I still love your space as it is, your images and words around them. There's true authenticity here. And I'm loving you over on Instagram by the way, hello fan base :)<br /><br />x Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08442817946121610422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8159818817339386715.post-46175894998164853942012-10-12T11:37:16.032-07:002012-10-12T11:37:16.032-07:00i have been feeling the exact same way.

Your boys are very lucky to have their childhood captured so beautifully. Great photos and 'commentary' to treasure forever. <br /><br />CassAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036811902309874581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8159818817339386715.post-79995796281910046672012-10-11T13:25:09.966-07:002012-10-11T13:25:09.966-07:00I totally appreciate what you're saying.

How can you keep meaningful family relationships going when you have to constantly check emails, twitter and document rather than enjoy. <br />Take a break and enjoy your family and you'll eventually find your way back to what you truly love doing....that's what I'm trying anyway!

I started blogging just shy of a year ago (only knowing of one or two blogs at the time) mostly as a way to document all the pictures I was already taking and record some of my thoughts as I transitioned from a busy career to a busy life as a mom at home. I quickly learned that there was a whole world of blogs out there and for the most part it's been a wonderful discovery. Most of my local friend's don't stay at home, so it's been great to find this community of other smart, creative, and talented women who have made a similar choice to my own. I also get a lot of inspiration for design work (which is still part of my life) and photography.<br /><br />BUT, there are so many instances when I am juggling my camera and my cell phone to document a moment that I have to check myself and realize it's getting nutty and a need a time out. I only just started instagram and it's even worse than the blog because it's always there and it's such instant gratification. It's fun though, and your feed is one of my very favorite. I love your style and adorable boys- so thanks for sharing what you feel comfortable sharing (and good for you for taking a break when you need to as well!).<br /><br />-LillyMama Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17489450713167896817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8159818817339386715.post-35424019468951849802012-10-09T21:37:26.174-07:002012-10-09T21:37:26.174-07:00I've been blogging and instagramming for only ...I've been blogging and instagramming for only a few months, but I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes you get caught up with trying to capture every moment on instagram or on camera for that matter, that you really forget to enjoy that moment, that beautiful sunset, your sweet dinner with your partner or a loved one, or a special moment with a loved one. I love your blog and I hope you find that inspiration!<br /><br />Theresa<br />http://bomamma.blogspot.comTheresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10420433571195576583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8159818817339386715.post-22117712615242174242012-10-09T21:18:41.295-07:002012-10-09T21:18:41.295-07:00Firstly let me say that I'm going to miss your...Firstly let me say that I'm going to miss your blog if you stop writing!! But I very much understand where you're coming from. Lately I'm feeling much more like living my real life than reading about somebody else's in blog land. I have a real love/ hate relationship with blogging. I don't feel terribly comfortable posting a whole lot of personal things, but then that's what I always love reading most about with other peoples blogs! I often think about hanging up my blogging boots... but never quite bring myself to do it.<br />Either way I have enjoyed reading and looking at all the photos of your beautiful family. Looks like you guys have a good thing going on there! xMalaykahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16557168553242702472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8159818817339386715.post-60146484704942900962012-10-09T19:48:51.156-07:002012-10-09T19:48:51.156-07:00I had a blog with a fair amount of followers, but ...I had a blog with a fair amount of followers, but I abandoned it almost three years ago without a word of farewell. I started it to connect with a community of people who were into the same thing. But no one ever posted comments. It was just me. People were reading but not responding. And for some reason I would feel guilty if I didn't post like three times a week. Then a too-young family member died, and I decided eff this, and turned inward to the people who are really here! So, anyway, I totally understand.Stitchifyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17578028596654816594noreply@blogger.com
