I had to reblog this, it’s such a great article for all of us bloggers to read.
For me I believe we must stay authentic, I write to share the constant noise in my mind to gain peace, I write for the release. Some days I write several times a day, sometimes a few days can past me by. I write because it’s what I do.. I breathe, I think, I write.. I release.
I’m forever grateful for my views, likes and follows.. but my message will never change regardless. I will still always write whatever I feel, however and whenever I feel.The post below reinforces what I believe. Stay true to yourself in all that you do.

People who read our blogs aren’t numbers. I respect the reason you write and that you stay true to your message.
Thank you Eric, some of us just simply love to write 😊
