Why I'm afraid to be a blogger

I have read blogs for majority of my healthy living journey. I found them to be motivational and they often gave me inspiration to keep on keeping on. I have started my blog 3 maybe 4 times and it took me a long time to decide I was going to start one that I actually made public, start one that people would actually see. It seems that with blogging there has to be transparency you have to be able to put yourself out there and have a bit of confidence in what your saying. The thing that scares me the most about blogging......

Mean Girls!!!

 

Often times while reading blogs I go to comment and am saddened that people would actually post something negative on a bloggers post. I mean, I don't really get it . If there is a person/ blog that you don't necessarily agree with then why are you reading it? Why put out so much anger and hate to another person who is more than likely fighting there own battle? Often times I find myself not 100% agreeing with another person but that's just it. I think to myself  "ok, I don't think the same" and move on. I don't waste my time trying to belittle or hurt feelings. I am extremely scared to put anything out there about my kids. I have seen the nasty comments people make about others and there choices as mothers. The fact of the matter is, we are all different and all choose different lifestyles and ways to raise our children.

 

I think what has taken me so long to make this blog public is that I don't want to be judged, I don't want to be ridiculed and often it is easier to just hide. I look at all these amazing women/ bloggers and their success stories and I think to myself how brave they are to put themselves out there. Put things up about themselves and their personal journeys. 

 

I am choosing to make this blog public to be empowered, to find people with similarities and build each other up. I read daily and look forward to seeing other peoples blogs, much of what I hope will happen in return with this blog!
