On Losing Followers

Let me preface this whole post by saying:

A. I am not an insecure person whatsoever.

I have not ever had crippling self-esteem or insecurity issues.

 Which probably explains what I feel it's ok to say almost whatever is on my mind :)

and 

B. I'm not expecting some whole "OhmygoshBri! Weloveyouuuu" validation.

I'm just writing what's on my mind.

And now that we have that out of the way, I'll get on with it :)

I don't know what it is....but every time I lose a follower, I almost feel a tiny bit sad!

I get to thinking:

"Did they get offended by what I wrote? Do they get upset at how I don't post on a schedule? Is it the picture quality or the set-up of my blog?"

 When someone stops following, it kinda give me a blehhh feeling in my stomach.

I put my heart into this blog because it is my creative outlet, it's about my life and what I enjoy.

So I start to feel like they don't like me as a person, as opposed to just not liking my blog content.

Does that make sense?

Does anyone else ever feel this way?

Ya, it kinda stinks.

On the other hand though, every time I have just one new follower, I get so excited!

Almost like a personal victory that "Yes! Someone other than my mom likes my pictures and writing!"

Then I check if that person left a comment, cause I totally looove reading them.

I get over my whole 2-minute pity party and go on to remind myself:

"Hey, I have 200+ friends that enjoy my rantings & outifts. That's gotta mean somethin!"

Then I don't feel sad anymore.

BAM.

So, thank you for being my amigo :)
