Last year I came across this blog that really made me happy. Her writing
was simply amazing, her photography was beautiful, and her stories were so
vivid. It’s as if you could sit back and see these events she talked about come
to life as you read them. Truly amazing. She had such a way with words. I found
myself wishing that I could be more like her. She was very free spirited, and
filled with a lot of love. She was always so honest about her life, how she
felt, her family, and what she did. She really made me feel like I needed to be
more like that. Take things in stride; spend more time with my family. Enjoy
just being. After reading a few of her posts I found myself wanting to go all
the way back to the very beginning of her blog just to catch up on everything I
had missed out on. And I did.
Six months ago, she quit writing. She had her reasons, which again she was
honest about, and even though I understood them I still felt really sad. Here
was this person, who through her blog had inspired me to take a step back and
enjoy my life, and she was quitting. I’m sure she has no clue just how much she
helped me out, but she really did. She talked about image, motherhood, and life
in general. Her posts made me feel like I wasn’t completely alone. I wasn’t the
only person feeling that way. Sometimes I miss how her words could make me feel
a bit lighter after having a bad day.
Now, I’m not saying that I was obsessed (ok, maybe just little bit), or
that I can’t live without that blog in my life. Obviously it’s just a blog. But
have you ever found those writers who you wished you could just sit down and
have a conversation with? How you know that if you ever met in person, you’d
probably be friends with them? Well, that’s how I felt about this lovely writer.
Last week, she posted an update and said goodbye again. And it made me happy. I
was glad to know that this complete stranger was doing well, and that her family
was happy and healthy. And I’ll gladly wait another 6 months to see if she’ll
update us again. Because her stories are truly worth waiting for.
