I’ve been formulating this post in my mind for a few days now, so stick with me for a few minutes.
My blog is boring. Yep, I said it. I know why I don’t have readers, I know why my family makes comments about how boring it is and Trevor’s blog is so much more interesting, and I know why I don’t enjoy writing each day (or the days that I attempt to write something).
I know that I am not being my true self on here. Why? I do not know. I feel like in “the land of millions blogs” out there, I need to write for the interest of others. Which, of course, does not make any sense. I should be writing for me. I should be writing because I enjoy it, and because I love putting my thoughts, stories, and photos out there. I keep saying I don’t have a niche, a place in internet land, and maybe I don’t… but I’m okay with that. Do you have to have a place? No.
I am a very candid, funny (or I like to think so
haha), silly, excited, happy, loud, completely ridiculous, outgoing girl… I ramble on and on and on and on… And looking back at my posts, none of that is reflected! I fall short on putting myself, who I really am, out there. I feel like I need to put this show on, to try to get readers to enjoy my posts.
Let me try explaining it a little better and “paint a picture”….
An example of a day-to-day conversation I have with friends/family:
Me: I like to buy books
Josh: why pay for what you can get for free?
Me: I like to keep them. The library, unfortunately, frowns upon that.
Josh: haha they are sticklers about that whole “sharing” thing…
Me: Haha. I’m last born, I don’t share.
While some people might not find this funny, entertaining, etc… I do! Because it’s who I am. I am the youngest of 4 kids in my family, I don’t share, I tell too much information, I’m the “informer” in the family. My family knows all of this – and they still love me! (Or, at least I hope they do!)

Also, I like to do shots with my sisters, dance uncontrollably by myself in my living room, attempt to jump into the arms of people. I sometimes say the wrong thing at the wrong time, I like I make people laugh, I love unconditionally, and I am finally figuring out who I am in this world. And I like what I see.
So from here on out, I promise to you (my readers) and to myself to just be me. No act being put on.
Be my true self. I hope by putting the true, real, me out there will make me happy, and that’s all that really matters in the end.

Nice post. I didn’t dislike your posts from before but I am glad you are being decisive!
You’re the one that encouraged me.
What???? I don’t think your blog is BORING! Keep writing….your a great writer….and I love to read it! LOVE YOU TWIN!
Haha, I know. But it’s just the fact that I’m not writing for “me”. Love you too, twin!
Ashley! Your blog is NOT boring! I love reading your blog because it makes the 300+ miles in between us shrink to nothing! And to put it in perspective, there are 2 people who read my blog (myself being one)…so don’t feel so bad. You have two (me and Kyle) readers hooked here!
Thanks, Liz! It’s great to know people are reading.
Just feel I need to put a little more “me” in it! I would love to read your blog if you’d share it with me…
That would make three readers!
First off, I agree with everyone else- your blog is not boring!
But… (this isn’t a bad but, I promise) when this post first came up on my phone, and I could only see the first paragraph, I immediately thought, “Well, of course she thinks it’s boring! She’s writing about things she does that she thinks are entertaining to other people, and not about the silly, random things that happen to her and most importantly, how she FEELS about those silly random things!” So, before I could even read the rest of the blog, I already knew exactly what you were going for! Be you girly, because that’s who we all love! <3
I love you. So much.
