Great post! I think many of us feel this way and work to find and keep our voice. I constantly struggle with “what is my message” and am working to just be myself. You are great and being yourself and talking (or writing) about your journey is worthwhile and amazing 🙂

I\’m right there with you. Between work, school and being a mom, there\’s only so much time I can devote to blogging. How can I ever compete against those who blog full time? I\’d rather be out living life then slaving over a post that I don\’t want to write, but feel obligated to write.

Thank you for your kind words! I\’ve learned that if you\’re not true to yourself, it\’s not worth it. Good luck with your blog! 🙂

This post was a breath of fresh air!! Thank you so much for writing this. I started my blog about a year ago and I can sense myself beginning to fall into the comparison trap at times … your post was just the reminder I needed to stay true to myself and what makes me happy to write about. You have a new blog follower here who can’t wait to read more of your honest, true-to-you posts! 🙂

Always write your truth.

It may not be pretty, or Pin-worthy, or interesting/ inspiring etc COMPARED to other bloggers, but it’s your truth – and that is interesting and inspiring to you, and those who know and love you. And really, how awesome is that?

Good on you for reclaiming your voice.

This is such a great post! I think so many of us fall into the comparison trap from time to time, with blogging and with life in general – I know I do, a lot! There is always someone you could compare yourself to who seems to have it better off than you do. I think the important thing to realize is that comparing yourself to another prevents you from feeling good about your own accomplishments when you should feel good about them! Everyone has their own struggles and road to success which is important to keep in mind. Seeking growth is wonderful but I think it’s also good to remind ourselves to take time to celebrate our own mini successes, however small, along the way. Congrats to you for remaining true to yourself! 🙂
