Do you ever feel like people who have blogs have got it all together?
Because I do.
All. The. Time.
And it’s funny, but ever since I’ve started this blog a good many people have told me they think I’ve got it all together.
Ha! I always think that’s a hoot.
With blogging it’s all about what you choose to share.
I like to call it keeping up appearances.
We all do it in some form or another (or most of us at least). I see it on Facebook and in blogland nearly everyday. And I do it too. We almost always show the good, because we want people to know the good.
Some people choose the lovely.
Others choose the funny.
And some very brave souls even choose the everything: The good, the bad, and the in-between. And do I ever salute you if you are one of those people.
It’s no secret I choose to write about the happy on this space, because that’s what blogging is about for me: A place to reflect on the good stuff. This blog is a scrapbook, a place for the memories, the fun times, the celebrations. Because I want to always remember that awesome trip to NYC, and the time my best friend got married, and that glorious lobster risotto sittin’ pretty atop that adorable plate from anthropologie.
But really, I’m nothing fancy. I get sad, and mad, and stressed, too. So if I ever appear to have it all together, be assured that I don’t.
Last week was one of those crazy busy weeks that you just want to end. You know those? Well, I woke up Friday morning, so completely thankful for the almost weekend, I barely even noticed the state of the place as I walked out the door. But notice it, I did, and it’s too good (or bad?) not to share.
Because life happens, and it’s not perfect, and gosh darnit, we all get a little messy sometimes.
Or maybe, maybe! It’s just me.
There you have it, people.
Just keepin’ it real.
