That people didn't intend to stop blogging but their schedules got too busy and before they knew it, it had been months since they posted. I'm not a mom yet so I can only imagine how hard it would be to blog with little ones. Well if you do start again, please let me know!

Now I am a mommy with 2 kiddos and I never formally "quit" blogging because I truly didn't want to give it up. I'm thinking about starting it back up but I don't know if I should pick up my old blog (Bella Cene') or just start over with a new one. My life is so different now! But I guess to answer your question, I never wrote a formal post because to me, that was giving it up and I was never quite read to make it final! lol Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00614207681946005971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3104712673909819244.post-650621469979976392016-10-21T19:21:33.337-07:002016-10-21T19:21:33.337-07:00So refreshing to read these types of posts.

You're ...I doubt you did anything wrong Alissa! You're writing is great and it's one of the very few that I actually read word for word. I like that you include pretty outfits of course, but I know it won't be the usual "here's my outfit, blah, blah, blah" thing. My engagement isn't half of what it used to be either and sometimes I get down on myself because I feel like the content I produce is honestly SO much better than what it used to be when I first began so it confuses me. I think it's hard for me to stand out because I don't have the energy to play the game the way some people do. I also only post about twice per week while others post every day. Maybe that has something to do with it? Well, quality over quantity is my motto in life :) I love your blog.Beautygirl24https://www.blogger.com/profile/16333427134036573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3104712673909819244.post-69309004091824306972016-10-20T15:10:03.749-07:002016-10-20T15:10:03.749-07:00That's true, from what I gather here I think m...That's true, from what I gather here I think most people just forget to post because life gets busy and priorities change.

I really do miss some of my old "friends" though and often wonder why they stopped posting. It has been on my mind so I just decided to spark up a conversation about it and I'm happy I did. I think it's up to the individual to decide whether or not to explain why they are stopping. For me, I just know I'd want to say a formal farewell ;) Beautygirl24https://www.blogger.com/profile/16333427134036573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3104712673909819244.post-40951718712726802952016-10-20T15:06:00.346-07:002016-10-20T15:06:00.346-07:00Welcome back to blogging!

I miss the creative outlet but sometimes life gets in the way. I didn't mean to stop posting all together but days turn into weeks which turns into years. I miss that time in my life. I think social media has totally changed how people interact, blogging included, and even if no one reads, I need to start posting for me.

I found when blogging became a business it lost its appeal to me and felt less like fun. And too many got involved without really a passion for it. This and also reasons like having a new baby, getting promoted to senior project manager with much more responsibilities,...are what made me quit when I did.<br /><br />I used to blog at lunch time back then. Now at lunch time I go to the gym which I prefer :) I'm still involved by commenting on blogs I like though. I just don't want to blog again at this pointShadowy Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08170268219457214588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3104712673909819244.post-64489957292159639342016-10-19T07:25:55.918-07:002016-10-19T07:25:55.918-07:00I feel the same way, but I've also been guilty...I feel the same way, but I've also been guilty of this. Honestly it makes me so sad when I pour my heart into a post and I don't get the engagement that I feel like I used to get when more people were blogging and I truly felt a sense of community. Now I feel like these relationships have just ended but I don't know what I did? <br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.theadoredlife.com/" rel="nofollow">The Adored Life</a>Alissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16990012566268372250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3104712673909819244.post-48393238670858776672016-10-19T07:10:17.982-07:002016-10-19T07:10:17.982-07:00I definitely wonder about people who don't giv...I definitely wonder about people who don't give a formal goodbye post. It's nice to know why they are stopping, but I know life can get away from you at times. Blogging is such an interesting medium since you feel like you develop relationships with people and are owed a goodbye, but it's rarely in person. It can be hard to navigate at times!Laura Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863868716798297046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3104712673909819244.post-81270276433282415762016-10-19T05:51:36.609-07:002016-10-19T05:51:36.609-07:00Hm, this is interesting food for thought.

I imagine in some cases they didn't plan to quit, but got busy, didn't find the time to post, and then it just became awkward/pointless/too obvious to come back just to say, "Hey, I'm not doing this anymore." Anyway, I do feel I would owe people an explanation if I planned to take a break but that's just me. And yes...blogging has changed so much. Not as much since I started as you, but still some. Curious to see how it will be different even 2-3 years from now!Gina Dailyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16883299882138487172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3104712673909819244.post-62471076282078127552016-10-19T04:24:00.655-07:002016-10-19T04:24:00.655-07:00I feel the same way sometimes.

When I was younger blogging was so fun and I didn't care about money or fame or anything like that (I still don't) but then at some point I got tired of it and stopped posting. Fast forward 5 years and I create another blog and who knows if one day I won't get tired again and say goodbye to the blog. For now I'm just gonna enjoy it and if I stop loving it, oh well hahaAround Colourshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09355370316993121446noreply@blogger.com
