Almost Stopped Blogging

Posted on the 01 February 2016 by Lifeofasportswife @jessaolson
So life has been a little hectic around here lately, and things are starting to calm down. I'm taking more control over my life - taking personal days, having authentic and happy people in my life, standing up for myself - just to name a few. If you have been following me you know that I am in Iowa and you can read more about it here.

So I have been in Iowa since November. I am so thankful I got a job quickly and have been doing really well here. I knew that it would be tough being away from Gary, but we have made it work so far. We talk all the time and see each other about every other month for right now. Baseball season might have other plans for that. 

Work has been one obstacle keeping me from blogging. I have worked so much that when I leave it's the last thing that I want to do along with working out. I have slowly realized how much I miss blogging and writing. I always knew that I loved to write because I would have tons and tons of journals growing up. I loved writing everything out how I was feeling, situations, and really helped with self growth. Since I haven't been able to write because I was mentally telling myself that I didn't have the time. I am making time for it. 

Writing and blogging has always been an outlet for me. Recently it came to my attention that I may have hurt peoples feeling with what I write about, but I found out from other people and not that person. Seriously, my blog is about me and how I feel and what's going on in my life. I never come to this place to badmouth people or even to hurt feelings. It's my escape. My initial response was at least I'm writing and making it public. It's better than you sneaking around to read it or hearing it from other people. It's coming from me! But the more I thought about it the more it's really on that person if they are hurt. I blog about how I am feeling and there is nothing wrong about that. It's all about how my life. And I am not going to apologize for that! 

Also if I ever did hurt someone feelings come to me about it. There was an incident with another blogger recently that I commented and she thought it was one way. I told her where I was coming from and what exactly I said. (It got really twisted.) And we were cool again. I mean seriously how hard was that. It took maybe 5 minutes out of our day then went back along with life. I know that I can still go to her and she has my back. 

I am also not going to let anyone stop me from doing something that brings me joy. I love this space! I love the friends that I have made from it, and the experiences that I have gotten from blogging. One thing for sure this blog has been something that I have never thought it would be and I am so thankful for it. I am so thankful for Gary because he encourages me to blog and write. He is there to tell me when I am wrong and right. So really at the end of the day if my people are happy. I am golden!
