I feel so much pressure sometimes…
To be a good wife
To keep my house clean
To train my dog well
To smile all the time
To be happy
Perky
Upbeat
To know all the answers
To be good at my job
To be interesting
To be funny
Smart
Successful
To be a good blogger
To have something to say that someone will want to read
To make people think
And feel
And laugh
Or cry
But sometimes there are nights when I feel so inadequate
I don’t have the words
I have no funny stories
No good advice
No ridiculous misadventures
There’s just me
Not knowing what to say
Wishing to make magic happen with my words
And all that comes out is rambling
And I’m left feeling like I’ve failed
Again
I’m just who I am
My days are what they are
Interesting or not, this is my life
This is where I write about it
It may not be spectacular
But it’s 100% me
Hi
Ineke
You know Abigail, i have been meaning to tell you for a while and this just seems the perfect occasion, that i think you have become a very beautiful adult. You have seriously grown every year since we met you, and you were a fun 18 yr old already to start with.
I think all of us know what life is about and while most days have at least something 'good' in them, some are seriously boring or simply disastrous.
I love you and so does the rest of your Dutch family!

Aw, thank you. That really means a lot coming from you.
I love you guys too. So much.

I can definitely to relate to what you wrote about pressure! Especially about keeping the house clean (blech). For what it's worth, as a reader, I like blogs that are honest and real. So really if you write about whatever is on your mind, you can't go wrong. 🙂 Blogging can be a really great creative outlet… if you protect that aspect of it. Looking forward to reading more!

Thanks. This blog is basically the spillage of my mind.
My mind? Very random.

I love you! Seriously, I do.
You are honest and all of your fears are shared with me. I feel the same way. I've been up, I've been down, I've been single, and dating, and married, and fat, and unemployed, and crying, and. . . me. That's all we are. Made up of craziness, emotions, and the awesome times.
Know that you are normal and that you are NOT alone!
*hugs*
SkyWaitress
Normal? Hahahaha. Probably not.
I love you for thinking that though. We'll be our versions of normal together.
Being together in this makes it so much easier.
::hugs::

I think a lot of women can identify with this post..I know I can.
I love reading your blog. :]
SkyWaitress
Thank you. It's good to know others can relate.
We're all in this together.
(Now I have that high school musical song in my head. Dang it)

No joke. This? Is why we're still waiting on kiddos.
