Text of the page (random words):
true femininity true femininity pages home contact me join blogroll my shop sunday july 8 2012 a final farewell as many of you have noticed my blog has laid quietly unused for the past six months early in december i had made the decision to stop blogging but with the busy ness of the holidays the start of a new job in the new year and training for a backpacking trip on the appalachian trail i found myself procrastinating writing my final farewell in some ways i suppose i didn t want to say goodbye and go through all the steps to shut down the blog for a long time i had been contemplating the direction that my blog was taking and weighing the pros and cons of continuing blogging it was not at all an easy decision not only have i invested much time and energy into blogging but i ve also emotionally invested and connected with the wonderful people i met along the way that is why i m oh so sad that this three year adventure is coming to an end when i first entered the blogosphere three years ago i barely knew what a blog was let alone the challenges and joys that would come along with it over the years my email inbox has been flooded with more emails than i could ever hope to answer i ve been yelled at encouraged proposed to threatened asked for advice you name it i ve received an email about it if there s one thing i would tell a person newly interested in blogging it s that you have no idea how much goes on behind the scenes i could ve never imagined the half of it when i set out to start this blog but by now you are probably wondering about the reasoning behind my departure maybe some of you feel a little sad or angry as i have when my favorite bloggers stopped blogging the fact is that there are many reasons some of the more minor ones include the amount of time it takes to run a blog and a growing disappointment over the way that people act online as far as time is concerned a nyone who blogs knows that it tends to take up more and more of your time i didn t want to head down the road of blogging pulling time away from my family and real life relationships secondly i became discouraged with the general aura of the internet i know that sounds like a funny way to put it but what i am talking about is all the polarized arguing that takes place you don t have to go far to see people bickering and saying things that they wouldn t say to a person in real life whether it s on a yahoo article or a youtube video i dealt with this constantly in moderating comments on my blog and it was disheartening don t get me wrong i don t claim to be immune to it either it is amazing how much easier it becomes to type something rather than to say it however i want to be careful and in doing so i found myself spending less time on the internet in general but apart from these issues my main reason in leaving the blogosphere behind was a concern about how my blog was becoming more popular and heavily read by people who know me in real life though this is not a bad thing in and of itself it does act as a certain sort of censorship let me explain most of the people that i know in real life are not of the same mindset as i am i do live in la after all as time went on i had to ask myself if my blog could be a hindrance to my real life relationships and have come to the conclusion that the answer is yes i am of the thinking that my opinion should not be given to someone i know in real life unless they have asked or unless i have the level of relationship with them where such things can be discussed but here on my blog people had an open window into my opinions on controversial subjects like birth control homeschooling and feminism things i would have never brought up with them unless they had asked it would be easy to see how an acquaintance could visit my blog and come away believing i m judging them for a host of things using birth control not homeschooling wearing pants silly because i wear pants you name it this in turn could serve as a turn off to people who ve barely gotten a chance to know me and give them the false impression that they know exactly where i stand when they ve never had a real life conversation with me on a topic though i do have strongly held convictions and opinions i do not despise or look down on people who do not wholly conform with them i realize that there are many reasons people make the choices they make and that people are a work in progress just because i see the world one way doesn t mean that i expect everyone to see it that way too when i meet people who are different from me i don t assume that we can t be friends or that i need to avoid them i have an insatiable curiosity and i love hearing different points of view and learning from them i don t want people on the fringes to stay there because they read my blog and think they know all there is to know i see now that i made a mistake when i let there be a connection between my blog and real life as my real life readership increased slowly but surely i moved away from posting on the controversial subjects that were the foundation of my blog then i found myself having to be careful about using real life experiences and censoring my posts lest someone think it was about them as i moved away from more meatier subjects i filled my blog with more of the safer topics like homemaking and fashion while these are interests of mine they are not the real reason i started this blog it was never my goal to be a fashion blogger while i know that many of you have enjoyed this aspect of the blog the truth is that i simply don t have enough passion for it to carry on an entire blog for the sake of it the passion with which i started this blog was for dealing with difficult subjects like feminism theology birth control and homeschooling however i now know something that i d wish i d known on the cusp of starting my blog if one wants to deal with difficult subjects anonymity is key for everyone s sake i am quite certain that if i had kept the blog anonymous i would still be blogging today yes even despite the other issues that have arisen on this adventure rest assured that my departure from the blogosphere is not because i m rethinking my convictions as some have worried i am still ardently passionate about homeschooling theology natural birth courtship and defending godly femininity and family the only change is that i just won t be sharing about it here anymore but i n leaving my readers i hope i can at least point you to some other wonderful blogs that have similar content to my own between the lines
