How much time has gone by since you’ve started blogging? Do you get bored of it ever?

How do you view your blogging? Something to look forward to or something you feel you do to fill the time? Has it ever felt like a burden?

I originally started my blog in February 2013 to write food articles. I had no intention of ever letting it become the place where I spill my thoughts to my thousands of subscribers but here we are, over 10 years later and this blog is still kicking.

Throughout the 10-plus years, I’ve only ever stepped away from my blog 3 times. To be honest, I’ve been stepping away from my blog somewhat in the last week or so. Life has its ways of creating anxiety and whenever I feel overwhelmed, I tend to drop whatever I’m doing, crawl into a corner, and stay there until it’s passed.

Unfortunately, I can’t describe the anxiety I’m feeling or what’s causing it. It’s just there, frustrating me and when I thought it’d gone away, it resurges.

I blog as a form of therapy because my blog is the only place I can really unburden my thoughts. In the real world, my thoughts are often laughed at, not sympathesized. In the real world, when I tell people about my home life, they would often take my mom’s side and scold me for misbehaving, all because people in real life tend to judge by one’s physical appearance. I look like a child so I am a child.

2 of the 3 times I stepped away from my blog was when I felt uninspired but no, I’ve never been bored with blogging. I always have thoughts that need to be written down, photos that need to be shared, and, of course, garden progress to report. I will have to say, though, blogging has felt like a burden at times but that’s only when I’m being pulled in multiple directions in real life that leave me tired and not wanting to write.
