A friend of mine told me that he thought my blog read like a diary. I told him I was going to stop writing. He suggested I shake things up. He asked me who I was writing for. He very lovingly insulted me, but maybe he's right. I started writing for me and for others to know that they weren't alone in wanting to become better. To make sure I wasn't alone. To challenge myself to my potential and to suggest that if I can do it, anyone can do it.
Apparently, that's not coming across, or it's not intetesting or relevant. So, I'm going to continue with my plan to stop writing the blog. No one but my brother is reading it anyway, and it does read like a "self-unprovement Bridget Jones's Diary." (as was pointed out to me)
Of course I could just try to take the constructive criticsm and put in more effort to change or improve. Or just tell him to fuck off, but I think this is maybe just something that I keep to myself. Because honestly, who cares if I can be a vegetarian, save money, or get promoted? No one. Just me. So thank you, five people who read this, I appreciate your support, but I think it's time to throw in the blogging towel. At least until I have something more relevant to blog about.

Eb, I'm really sorry to here you're stopping because of what one person thinks about it. I love hearing about what you're up to and the things you're doing to improve (even though I already think you're pretty great). What you're doing is admirable and your sharing of it to the rest of us is not only courageous but inspiring.
ReplyDeleteI am reading it. I can relate and I feel less alone. So keep writing!
