It's silly that I care so much about pleasing these people I've never met and that I care that they care what kind of content I put out---blogging really IS the weirdest.Torriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00914130332528653162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22472965.post-35087724286983998962013-10-30T19:20:04.861-06:002013-10-30T19:20:04.861-06:00I'm coming next time!

It was hard to really talk or get to know anyone with a group that big, ya know? <br /><br />Also, I'm not a super happy everything is great blog, but my "real" side is more snarky and funny than emotional. I just don't do emotional. I hope that doesn't bother people, but then I guess that's just me being real!

My favorites are the people who are real and I actually connect with. I have some blogs that I will ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS read because they're my friends and we've made a connection. Sometimes we've met in real life, sometimes we haven't. The ones who I don't make that connection with - a lot of the time I stop reading their blog. At least regularly.

I read beauty blogs which are mostly make-up reviews with a few real-life stories thrown in. I read travel/expat blogs which are mostly about cool trips or readjusting to a new country, which is real-life with a cool theme. And then I mostly read other Christian feminist blogs because they're writing about the stuff that interests me the most: an intersection between their personal lives and scriptural interpretation. SOOO good. You're one of the only lifestyle blogs I read, and your honesty is what keeps me coming back!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09711743439868985297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22472965.post-17818895675896677302013-10-30T03:59:52.626-06:002013-10-30T03:59:52.626-06:00Its great to have girlfriends who you can just han...Its great to have girlfriends who you can just hang with xXxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12304463322659574531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22472965.post-36262390410006834432013-10-29T23:16:06.076-06:002013-10-29T23:16:06.076-06:00I agree 100% with you.
