how many times can I say the word fluff?

I know it's been WAY too long since I last updated the bloggy.  I think I discovered the root of the problem.... sometimes I just can't decide what to blog about.  I know that sounds like a stupid problem, so let me explain a little bit more (and maybe it will sound more stupid?).  It's a classic battle between oversharing and fluff.

Sometimes I'll have something on my mind, and I'll think about what a great blog post that would be.  And then I get nervous because it's a little personal.  I don't want to freak people out with an overshare. I don't know exactly what direction I want the blog to go in, so I'm wary of taking it into overly personal waters and accidentally turning this into a public diary.  When I start to get a little bit of overshare anxiety, my natural overreaction is to want to blog something really fluffy.  I love fluff. But I I don't want the blog to be a string of shallow one liners and instagrams.

So all of this internal blog struggle added up to me looking a little frazzled seriously insane while I typed out sentences and then backspaced them letter by letter.  Which led to, you know, no blog posts for a really long time.

But I'm back!  With a new blog-strategy in my back pocket called "balance"...and also better time management.  It's really time consuming to delete paragraphs letter by letter.

So, working on the assumption that anyone still reads my blog (hello?  hello?  hello? ), get ready for the ultimate balance of lighthearted and real-talk.

love and moderate fluff,
