For the last 6 months, I've really been trying to figure out what to do with my blogroll. Some of the blogs I followed in my quest for C haven't been updated in over a year. Yet, I don't have the heart to delete them from the list as I felt/feel such a kinship with many of them. They helped me through such a difficult time in my life and in the off chance they update their blogs, I surely don't want to miss that.
I wonder what they're up to sometimes. I wondering if they're still trying, moved on, or gave birth to #2. I wonder if they're content with #1 and how come I can't seem to find my peace as well.
I have been increasingly trying to find blogs from writers who struggled for #1 and who are also in the trenches for #2. After all, misery loves company, right? This is a more difficult population of bloggers to find as many who are currently mothers just don't seem to have the time to blog, or have lost interest. Should I leave them up and keep hoping they'll come back, or should I turn the page?
I tend to leave blogs in the hopes that their writers return, and if they do, I can be there for them. I know for me, because #2 was mercifully easy I didn't 'need' my blog as much as I may have. I still love knowing it is there.
ReplyDeleteI don't use my blogroll too much, because I use Feedly for blog reading. I do leave them alone, at least so far, so I'll see if they ever do return. I'm sad sometimes, not knowing how things turned out for them.
ReplyDeleteI only delete if someone has pissed me off ;) but I use Feedly for blog reading so that only the ones that have posted a new post come up.
