Sometimes I feel that the pretty things I post make people think my life is easy or simple like that, and only full of pretty, delightful, cheery things. <br /><br />From time to time I update my blog with more personal posts, where I talk about personal challenges, and really express what I'm feeling. <br /><br />I like to share a balanced view of me, my life, and my arts and crafts. I'm human, and while I try to do my best, I sure as hell ain't perfect. <br /><br />*hugs*Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08134189729712730787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7371698695773533735.post-59570797596384120662012-04-12T22:13:01.974-04:002012-04-12T22:13:01.974-04:00I read.

I've seen ...Have I been to your blog before!??! I've seen your comments a few times (argh!) but I've never stopped by. YOUR BLOG IS AWESOME.<br /><br />I love everything you just wrote. I went through a 4 month period where I didn't do 'outfit photos' at all. None. Zip. And i think it was all because of the reasons you just talked about. I was so focused for so long when I started blogging on making my life 'look pretty'. Perfecting EVERY single picture, every single outfit, every single 'adventure' photo or 'date' photo... I was so caught up in documenting my life it was detrimental. I wasn't as happy and I definitely wasn't relaxed. Niklaas and my fun dates turned into long 45 minute photo sessions for my blog. It was sad. <br /><br />However, when he finally expressed his unhappiness and I realized how I'd let my blog affect my relationships, I took a step back. It helped SO much! I got sooo far sucked in that I couldn't see how unhealthy it was. Now, I'm back to blogging and outfit blogging and it's so much better. I don't feel caught up in taking "blog worthy" outfits and our photo sessions are quick and to the point and seamlessly fit into our dates. Our dates aren't focused on my blog or taking pictures. It's so much more normal and healthy!<br /><br />Send me an email sometime! I'd love to get to know you!!<br /><br />Love,<br />Maggie<br /><br />P.S.

I've found myself becoming disappointed when there isn't an opportunity to take pictures, or if the lighting's bad, or if I forget my camera. A lot of energy goes into making our lives seem picture-perfect. Sometimes I enjoy this, because it means I take effort to capture the beautiful aspects of my life not only for others, but for myself too--before I started blogging, I felt like my life was one blob of monotony because I was teaching, and I didn't want to feel boring or uninspired. Blogging has, in a lot of ways, pushed me to do more fun things and find the beauty in the mundane. I do recognize, though, that it also can be draining and difficult to maintain. It's hard to find the balance. Some days I get frustrated, and I have to take a step back and think about why I blog. If I have a clear purpose in mind, it makes me feel better. If not, it's easy to get wrapped up in things that are not what you really want (or need) to be doing.Leilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288598545840304996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7371698695773533735.post-18016773013719535252012-04-12T12:47:13.591-04:002012-04-12T12:47:13.591-04:00a realistic picture of a blogger esp. those who po...a realistic picture of a blogger esp. those who post outfits on their blogs. there are times where I was overdressed for running errands bcos of my blog. hahaha. lovely romantic outfit :)<br /><br />xoxo<br /><a href="http://mochaccinoland.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">mochaccinoland.blogspot.com</a>mochaccinolandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07674359446940975444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7371698695773533735.post-72971252691840992242012-04-12T12:05:02.429-04:002012-04-12T12:05:02.429-04:00Love these staged pictures.

I love the way you write. It has always sounded more genuine that lots of others out there.<br /><br />I, sometimes, write posts about my disappointment or unsurity but tend not to divulge too many details. I don't know who's reading what I write so I make sure I retain that certain amount of ambiguity. <br /><br />P.S. Let's be realistic, you look AMAZING!<br /><br />x Aliya<br />www.hillsidestory.netAliyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16007445159412117026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7371698695773533735.post-20123853940990121002012-04-12T11:19:24.664-04:002012-04-12T11:19:24.664-04:00love your honesty in "getting real" :) a...love your honesty in "getting real" :) and your outfit is precious, of course!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
