Our blogging struggles
As bloggers, we share a lot. The community, the creativity, the joy of writing, tinkering, and sharing our creations with the rest of the world.
Another thing many of us share is the struggle we go through every now and then. The doubts, the lack of ideas, the feeling that what we create isn’t good enough.
Personally, even if my mind tries to convince me otherwise, I think it all boils down to wanting too much, or expecting too much. Maybe it’s an existential thing. Expecting that blogging should provide something it can’t, instead of simply being satisfied with the pure joy of creating.
So when those impossible expectations aren’t fulfilled, I quit.
These days, I try to “write it off” instead. It helps, it really does. And the beauty of it is that it also helps others in similar situations.
We see that we’re not alone with our struggles and doubts. Just like shared joy is double joy, shared struggle is half the struggle. There’s healing in sharing. There’s cure in community.
With this in mind, I think “Our blogging struggles” deserves a spot on the Blog inspiration page. Sometimes the boost we need isn’t reading about others’ workflows and tools. Sometimes we simply need to know that we’re not alone with our struggles.
