Hi everyone! I hope you’re well ❤️ A while ago I noticed that loads of bloggers I used to interact with have disappeared off the face of the Earth (just me being dramatic there but it’s partly true! 😂). Many have deleted their blogs whilst others might possibly come back 🤞It’s been on my mind in a nostalgic kind of way so I thought I’d write something about it.
It’s like that game you play when you pass people in the street and wonder what kind of a life they live. I look back on these past friendships + acquaintances and wonder where they are now, what drove them away and if they ever think of their blog anymore. Maybe they want to come back but feel like too much time has passed or that they don’t have the same ability to write as they used to.
All bloggers have lives alongside this other world we create, some probably stop blogging and don’t give it a second thought but I think a lot are pulled away by other responsibilities and wish that things had been different.
Back when I created my blog I was surrounded by certain faces and never did I once think that there would come a time when I’d be the last one typing (unless they’ve created a different blog, in which case I will find you…sure we all know why they left my stalkerish self 🙌😂).
It’s just weird that so many are gone and kinda sad but I guess that’s life. People walk in and out (virtually speaking here 😂) creating space for new faces that I appreciate all the more because of the fact that they could very well leave too.
Many of them left a lasting impact with their work and I would have liked to hear more of it as those words weren’t gibberish, they meant something to myself and countless others. I wish they could have continued to be heard.
I feel like things held a different vibe back then and a lot has changed without these bloggers even if they didn’t think (+ continue to believe) that their absence would be noticed, I’m feeling it enough to write about it. They helped shape who I am through their honesty, positive thoughts and support.
Perhaps there’s a chance that someone who used to blog is reading this and is unsure about whether or not they made a difference, you did (Even if it wasn’t planned). You haven’t been forgotten and if you decide not to reappear then know you left a mark on someone out there and be proud of yourself. Thank you for sharing your mind’s thoughts and I wish you the best of luck on all of your future ventures 💫 (hopefully one of your endeavors will involve coming back one day).
Have you ever lost contact with blogging friends? Also if you haven’t blogged in a while I’d love to know your opinion from that other perspective! Thank you for taking the time to read this, take care and have a lovely day ❤️

This was such a sweet and sentimental post! 💓I’ve been blogging for I wanna say almost two years now and I often think about bloggers who left the platform. I’ve seen some bloggers come and go and it always makes me sad
I definitely miss the bloggers who left because they really do become your friends. I guess sometimes life just happens and things change. But I hope that they do come back to the platform. If not, hopefully they’re happy and doing well! x

I have the same thoughts and feelings even as one of the bloggers that kind of left lol. Initially when I became less consistent on the blog, leaving for months at a time (still the same) I had just had a breakup from a serious relationship and losing the apartment we shared together, having to move around and “find myself” again etc. I then got into YouTube, which I grew to love and started posting content more there. Now I’m on another break lol due to life again, changes on YouTube’s end, and because of a big project I’m working on. I definitely plan on coming back more consistently to the blog but I’ve been looking at and testing other platforms as well so I’ll see how things actually turn out lol.

Totally agree with your opinion. Maybe life embroils one so much that you tend to put aside doing things you love. But we can just move on relishing new words and making new friends as we remember the old ones.
This is life!

I didn’t MEAN to vanish for 2 months, haha. I guess I just didn’t know how competitive my university program would be. By the time I realized how much work it would take to merely keep afloat of my classes…there was NOWAY I could make quality blogposts. Different stages of life require different priorities…the one I’m in requires me to chose my education everyday. But I’m slowly working my way back because of members like you who remind me what a great, friendly community this was. Stay golden forever ♾😊

It’s so nice to hear it from the other sides viewpoint, I suspect that a lot of those bloggers who have left either did so because of other responsibilities or because they lost inspiration. That’s amazing that you are choosing to work your way back into blogging, thank you so muchfor your kind words! Really appreciate the comment 😊✨❤️
