I'm snickering at myself on this one. Ha ha ha. No, that's not enough still, Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Talk about teaching the blogging here. I'm not sure if you're ready for this topic, that or I'm the one not quite as sure. Probably, it's the latter. Ha ha!

Seriously, ok, now we take it seriously,

Even though my email had yet to be flooded with problems subjecting this matter, I know and can completely empathize on bloggers who had this sudden overwhelming impulse to go to your blog's settings and click on the delete button. Are you among them, maybe, maybe not. But one thing's for sure, there will come a time (mark my word) where you'll be having this kind of experience.

What's really happening in here?

Let's tackle the issue first. Why oh why do we bloggers (or most of us at least) suffer this dillema? It has to come from something obviously. Whether it's because your major traffic description would be counting to less than 20 readers per week or you just feel like 'what the heck have I been doing all this time' or just that really really sick feeling that you being a blogger is taking too much of your life (err time), I know and believe that one major reason why you've decided to suddenly let go of your blog is because of this thing... disappointment.

For those who does and doesn't have this problem

My first suggestion would be, like what I've already said, relax, chill, calm down a little bit and go restrain yourself or something. Even if does seem like your blogging career is falling to a downward spiral (or if it's leading to nothing since you haven't been that much up to be down) doesn't mean that you have to go on and doom your blog forever to eradication.

I have many things to say about this and many things that I don't want to say and will say eventually (since I'm no good at not saying what I want to say). One of those things is the obvious, you can't remain as a blogger if you don't have a blog. Obvious. If you keep having these impulses, try to be rational and keep saying this line in your head

'I love being a blogger and I'll need a blog to be one.'

But of course if the context of that line is of no truth to you, that, I can't help no more. Blogging is fun! Try to remind yourself of that and about this bad impulses, just relax, it's normal, just don't try to do anything rash before you go pressing any button with a 'd' on it.
