Perhaps I should change my attitude and write for me first and then think of others later (sounds pretty selfish don't it?) but it feels like the only way I'll feel free to JUST WRITE :)<br />Great post.Judy https://www.blogger.com/profile/07500738115214328389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051064804257875319.post-12106343038505207442011-07-30T16:31:23.357-04:002011-07-30T16:31:23.357-04:00Amen.

Don't change it, ok? Because it isn't just about how well you can write -- it's you. And we love you.Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09767008856547823152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051064804257875319.post-43570413146726573822011-07-28T14:43:26.112-04:002011-07-28T14:43:26.112-04:00Can relate to falling into the comparison game abo...Can relate to falling into the comparison game about other blogs I read. I'm actually composing a post shortly about "Just writing!" LOL So this was very encouraging and I hope you don't mind if I link back to this post. <br /><br />Blessings!<br />~Meghan<br />www.justasiam-meghan.blogspot.com<br />www.refined-redeemed.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051064804257875319.post-39829595839966817612011-07-26T22:50:38.816-04:002011-07-26T22:50:38.816-04:00And I'm glad you do!

"If I did, I'd have more followers- I'd touch more people."<br />Sometimes I feel at such a loss at what to write- so doubtful of my own self- that there are posts I DON'T WRITE. If I heard of someone else doing it, I'd get after them and tell them how much meaning "their" words have.<br />Your words have so much meaning, Erin. I love it when you let yourself come through what you write- your love for your family and for life. Don't even worry about typing the right things. You're writing "you" so you're blogging the most perfect way you could.<br />You're an encouragement and your posts DO mean a lot to me. :)<br />And so, I'll write along with you. <br /><br />Much love,<br />JoniJonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15451808186040055044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051064804257875319.post-73728953753754567742011-07-26T09:23:33.880-04:002011-07-26T09:23:33.880-04:00Trust me, I can totally relate.

As long as I can enjoy it, it simply doesn't REALLY matter what other people think.

Sometimes I feel inferior to all the girls that have their own beautiful blogs, but I try to squelch those feelings, because I'm not inferior...I'm just different!<br />That said, I think your blog is lovely. I love the posts that make me laugh and your beautiful, beautiful photography! I would LOVE to be a good photographer someday. I'm going to be taking a photography class at college this fall, so hopefully that will be the first step towards my goal!<br />You do a great job!Julianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051064804257875319.post-42228345956317253182011-07-25T11:13:11.649-04:002011-07-25T11:13:11.649-04:00Great post!

A few days ago, I was so frustrated with my blog and my Etsy shop, constantly comparing it to others and feeling pretty inferior. <br /><br />Then I read something on Etsy that said something along the lines of: Stop worrying about what other people are doing. Just focus on what you love and do best. So that's my new goal. :)<br /><br />~KristinKristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10592919145644124930noreply@blogger.com
