Tired

Let's be honest, I put quite a bit of meaningless junk on here. I have been thinking lately on why I do this thing. Why do I spend hours a day working on LTP? I ask my friends what they appreciate the most about this thing. Their answers range from "I love the videos, they are hilarious" to "I don't like your blog at all".

I will tell you what I like the most. I like contributing. If all i'm doing is showing you what is going on in the internet then you can probably go to sites that are much better then mine to find that out. If you have been coming to this thing for as long as it's been around then maybe you do come for that. When I started this I think that is what I was doing. I was 25 years old. I am now old. The things I used to like I don't like anymore. I hate cats but I started doing it so long ago that I have kept putting them on here.

I am tired. It has taking quite a bit of time but I think I am having a little bit of a blog burnout. For over 1000 days I have posted something on this blog.  I never miss a day. I catch myself blogging because I have to instead of blogging because I want to.  I have anxiety about it. The 365 day picture project has been really hard to do. But I think that it is one of the only things on here that I am actually proud of.

When I started this thing I'm sure that I wanted lots of attention. I wanted blog hits. I wanted people to talk about it. I wanted it to be something that many people could get into. After two years I was getting some traffic. Last year I got the most traffic that I think I can possibly get. If you don't go to Union or know me then I don't know why this would interest you. There isn't really a big chance for me to get more hits. I don't know if I care anymore (that's a lie, errybody knows I love attention). If you go to Union there is a good chance you have heard of my blog. If you have recently left Union and you kinda want to see what's going on you look at it for a year or so. After that year this thing becomes uninteresting. But there are always new Union students coming down the pipeline to take the blog views that are now missing (hopefully cause that is like my "real job" and stuff).

I'm going to blog cause I want to and not because I have to. I'm not going to waste your time and mine with stuff that I don't really love. Instead of taking hours a day to work on this thing I am going to spend time doing things that I love to do. Like reading, the more I read the more I will be interested in writing. I like writing. I'm going to spend more time with Wallo. And I don't know if yall know this but I have a little fella/lass on the way. I know I'm going to want to spend time with my family. I am going to blog less on purpose. I hope you will still be interested. I can't imagine what I would do without my blog so I'm going to keep it because I do like sharing things. It's just not going to take up my life anymore.

God Bless
