I have not published a blog post in ages. Back when I was single living with Sterling, I really loved blogging. Now that I am in a totally new phase of life, I am thinking of perhaps starting up again. While I dance on the fine line between protecting my daughter's privacy and also posting my thoughts and life with having a documentation of this season.
I often think how there is a lack of "real" blogs out there.
Now, more so than ever I have noticed perfect Facebook walls, perfect blogs, and perfect instagrams. I find that there needs to be some authenticity out there. It sets up the rest of us to fail or feel that we are "less than".
Studies show that the more people put it out there how much they love their spouse, life, etc...they crave affirmation.
Since having Elizabeth, I have noticed now more than ever the need and desire for authenticity.
Because, to be frank, nothing is more "real" than motherhood.
So I think I will start up again...not to gain readership or paint some false picture of life, but an authentic place where my daughter can read one day and get a clear picture of what life was like when she was a baby.
