My mind
needs space
to
relieve thoughts of biting
insecurities!
Hey fellow bloggers and followers…I am back for the second time
around, for the Insecure Writer’s Support Group. But really, those biting
insecurities I have in mind do not leave me.
The nagging truth, you wish to know? There are many. I have too
many irons in the fire. My work in office demand my full attention and
involvement that at the end of the day I become jaded physically and mentally. I
have the chores in the house that all home makers are burdened with. Yet
another, of my own choice to make some extra money, is the baking I do against
orders. Baking to my dismay I found is a zealous mistress that invites full
attention and no diversion. Then there are the concerns of a mother with her
three children away in another city and monitoring their well being on a daily
basis. To cap them all, I am not endowed with a strong body and my health
is fragile. These are the reasons I am unable to write as much as I wish
to.
What am I gonna do? I am torn between leaving my blog totally
and blog only when I have spare time.
I feel sad that as my blog gets older, the more I have become
busier in life. Working Mom’s dilemma you know.
But at times I would like to attribute it to my sense of
insecurities born out of imaginary fears. I seldom could overcome this. Well,
whatever is that nagging truth, I will try my best to be visible when I can
write and drop by everyone’s blog when I have the luxury of time. I
am aware of the fact that no man’s life is free from problems.”Into each life
some rain must fall”—but why open your umbrella while the sun is shining?” That
is why I put aside my umbrella and writing these lines.
Truth is I missed you all my dear supportive bloggers. My
absence makes me incomplete.
"Blogging was once and will always be sapid for me, whatever the cost!"

Don't give up. Life runs in cycles. Sometimes, you are pulled in a direction, then that eases up. Set aside certain times of the week for blogging and reading. A little is better than nothing. Write on!
ReplyDeleteHi Amity ~~ Yes, we must set priorities, even us retired people. You seem to have yours balanced.
ReplyDeleteBlogging can consume one especially because it is a two way deal. We blog for readers yet we can't keep them unless we reciprocate with reading theirs and leaving comments with their blogs.
There are many bloggers who write, as my daughter calls it, like a mad blogger in the dark with no one reading what they write. You seem to do good. I used to think I had to post every day but I can't keep up that way with my other loves, including family.
We Skype with one child who is now living abroad. That helps with her and the grandkids in keeping on touch.
..
It can be so hard finding the balance between writing and life. I feel for you.
ReplyDeleteOh, Amity!
ReplyDeleteIt can be consuming, as I well know. Cut back if you need to, but don't abandon us completely.
Maybe we can both find balance soon...
It is a good ploy to make one post for three different prompts.That way you have saved your precious time that is in short supply!!
ReplyDeleteBlogging is a hobby or past time and comes lower in the order of duties.Your decision to blog once a while is very sensible one indeed given your other preoccupations.
Good luck,Amity.
what cute Haiku, smiles.

I can imagine Amity. I myself havent written a word in past one month in spite of wanting it. And i am no mom yet my schedule is so erratic that there is hardly time left to give myself few moments of leisure with writing...
ReplyDeleteMissed reading you and i can see i missed your anniversary too... Wishing many many years of writing to you and your blog darling...
That's how it is... choose wisely.....add value... yet, if you can't write... just for a few minutes.. visit others... get that feeling of staying in touch... God bless...Amity..
ReplyDeleteHey Amity! Many bloggers reach a stage when they need to choose between blogging and their "real life" - you are not alone.
ReplyDeleteMy advice would be to blog whenever you can or feel like. Don't feel pressured because life does come first.
I wish you all the success in the world and drop by whenever you find the time for it :D.
Love and hugs
Two wonderful writes.
