Wouldn't any of us love to have a "re-do" in high school? The cliques will always be there, from high school to college to suburban mom-life. As a mother of four, I am trying to pass on the "be yourself" mantra to my children. Do what you love and don't let anyone critize you or stop believing in yourself - but be courteous along the way. Great post! Thank you (and makeundermylife - which is how I got here).Ceciliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04628255099423441897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7105545369336653278.post-54395312410608515552011-04-04T18:33:34.422-05:002011-04-04T18:33:34.422-05:00Such a great post!

I work hard in my own biz because i agree that the competition in corporate america sucks and i truly believe we all have something unique to offer so why be intimidated? I admire other bloggers' talents and support them but i feel good about what i am doing professionally and on my blog too and i'm ok with playing on the playground with a couple of genuine friends rather than a world of phonies and i hate cliques. I notice that on twitter too but i comment when i want to because want to; no agenda.

Wow, I read this at the right time - I'm actually coming off a break from blogging because I was feeling stressed and because blogging felt like a chore. I just needed some time a way to assess the situation. I love it but I knew I needed some time away. Now, I'm warming back to it and posting what I like, when I like it and not worrying about the numbers and followers, etc. Thank you for telling it like it is!!!SpryOnTheWallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16149135530530458132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7105545369336653278.post-81972914370955831112011-03-14T13:13:18.543-05:002011-03-14T13:13:18.543-05:00I started blogging three years ago and when I firs...I started blogging three years ago and when I first started, I think people were cliching up because it's just natural to hang with those who share your interests... and back then, blogging was still new in terms of "interest" blogs versus general life journals... but over the years I have seen the kind of blogging "hierarchy" evolve as some people transitioned into having more visible blogs and others not as visible...<br /><br />I think when blogging became something you could potentially earn an income from rather than just being a form of expression... well, a lot changed and it became way more competitive... and folks started name dropping on the off chance you might catch someone's eye and some of their audience might hop on over to see you... which is fine and one method of marketing...<br /><br />Personally, I try to stay focused on doing my own thing and whenever I start feeling lost, I take a moment to remember what my purpose is so I can be authentic to MY voice. I try to remember what led me to blogging in the first place and keep on doing my thing... <br /><br />Kudos to you for encouraging that!Shauntellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16948316466486777521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7105545369336653278.post-73790244189084891342011-03-14T10:23:19.938-05:002011-03-14T10:23:19.938-05:00EXCELLENT read.

I've noticed the way people blog really shows their true colors, you can see if they are cordial, if they have manners or even if they have any polite bone to their bodies. I guess it is just like real life, gotta do like you said, do your own thing and ignore the negativity. Some try to create a new self, like using the blog as a way to make up a new character but you know... the coolest blogs are the ones where the person behind feels genuine, feels real and feels like they put their heart and soul on every post. I really appreciate reading your thoughts, love every word of it!A Casa da Váhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05281983907965025736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7105545369336653278.post-82853125292322765372011-03-10T15:03:13.100-06:002011-03-10T15:03:13.100-06:00It is very refreshing to read this.

I have hundreds of blogs in my reader and it's an incredibly diverse and random bunch, and I've come to realize you can SO tell when someone is blogging for the wrong reasons, or if they have an "agenda" and make a point to plug other bloggers for their own exposure. It cuts down on the merit of anything they have to say SO much. It's really a turnoff and is so much more enjoyable to just read someone who writes from the heart.Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07263219705031174912noreply@blogger.com
