I think I’ve lost my passion for blogging.
I used to look forward to checking my blog for the latest comments. And the stats, of course. I couldn’t wait to read what readers have to say about what I wrote. Now, I just immediately load my Facebook home page and feed reader.
It has been feeling like a chore to write here recently. My habit is to have the first three tabs opened; one for this blog, one for my email, and one for my facebook. It reminds me every day that it’s time I get back into the blogging habit. Somehow, the feeling has yet to return.
Is it because few comment in here anymore? Is it because I am facing difficulty being inspired to write? Is it because the time has come for me to quit blogging?
I’m not ready to give up this part of me that I have poured here for the past years. I have started many diaries and none has lasted as long as this one.
And I also do not want to leave the friendships I have made through this platform. Though many have left me, I still think of them. And I miss them. I miss the people who encouraged my writing. And I care for the ones who are still hanging around, like you reading this.
I’m not sure what I want from my blog. My life is balancing itself after the chapter of my previous workplace has been closed. I am happy freelancing and getting over with university, even if not everything is to my satisfaction.
Now, I want to fall in love with blogging all over again. If you can help me, I would really appreciate that. If you can not, it’s okay. This is something I should rediscover by myself. Until then, more impersonal posts.

I think its cause of the impersonal posts. i used to check your blog every day, didnt agree with everything, but i still loved it, i think you were just attacked a bit too much that you gave up…
i hope you can go back to your old self when it comes to blogging..
wish you all the best moey

Sorry to hear that. I think blogging, like most things in life, go up and down. There are days, perhaps weeks, when I feel like not blogging at all and there are other days when I blog too much. Same with Twitter really for me.
Perhaps it’s time to re-focus the blog. Think about something in your life you’re passionate about, interested in, and come up with ideas for blog posts about that. Personally I keep ideas in EverNote then I add to them when I feel like it and there’s usually a list of ideas worthy of making into full blog posts.

Hi Moey, I can relate.
Sorry I haven’t been as faithful a follower as I was. Facebook sortof replaced blogging, it seems.
May our passion be revived.
