contemplation

I have been contemplating the existence of my blog recently. No, I am not shutting it down (thought about it at one point), nor am I making it private. Although threatening to make it private would probably cause a surge in popularity...ha ha ha. 

Why did I start this blog? I don't really remember. Maybe it was to jump on the blogger bandwagon. All the cool people have blogs...

What's the point of this blog? I don't really remember what I was trying to accomplish with it when I was single, but currently, its main purpose is to update family and friends (especially those I don't see very often) about my life. Lately, I have been posting recipes because I like cooking and I like to share things that work for me. I do have the occasional personal post that gives you deeper insight into who I am, but not often.

However, I've been feeling certain people in my life who are close to me don't really bother to have much of a relationship with me because they think they know me so well because of this blog. I might say things to them, and they will tell me, "Oh yeah, I read your blog!" Umm, thanks...don't you want to actually talk to me?

This blog only gives the reader a superficial glance into who I truly am. Did you know that there are things about me that I don't feel comfortable posting? Yeah, never thought about that did you?

I'm mainly referring to people I've met within the last couple of years.
