Inferiority be darned

I have to admit, I was having some inferiority complex issues with blogging. Generally the passive, non-competitive type, I have found that the number of comments I procured at the bottom of each little post was beginning to haunt me. Rationalization set in, and continued to set in, to the point of unhealthy; until I realized I was not blogging to document and share, I was blogging to see the comments from others. Which is totally great, I love reading comments from others about my posts. It's like a really slow, very short conversation. Even if I'm not the most popular, creative, or fun, I will continue. Even if I receive a million comments, or zero, I will continue. Because I like to write. And I like to write about my family. And I still like to read what you say. Amen.

    I totally know what you mean. I have friends that get anywhere from 9 to 18 comments on a post and I get anywhere from 0 to 6 (6 is after announcing a pregnancy) which can be discouraging but I keep blogging because it's like a journal and I know others enjoy it even if they don't comment. We changed our address, not sure if you guys knew...switzerserial.blogspot.com Miss you guys!

    I feel the same way. Sometimes I get dejected if I write something that I feel is clever or that other people will enjoy, and nobody comments or I get one comment. And I have had to realize the same thing-- that I am doing this for my family and to keep people updated with my life, and not for self gratification in being patted on the back or being popular.
