Running on Empty--- blog

I took my follower button off a million years ago because I hate it. BUT-- the sucky part is: it STILL appears in my dashboard. 


It's similar to the gas light that comes on when you're running low on fuel.

 BLOOP = YELLOW LIGHT

CRAP!  I YELL… because I'm USUALLY almost home.

Losing followers STILL .. makes me go "CRAP."
 Shake my fists to the sky and roar….

Someone literally decided to go through all of bloggers hoops and boofuckles to figure out how to UNFOLLOW ME.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO UNFOLLOW SOMEONE.



I watch it go down daily and internally I struggle because I am slowly letting go of something that has made for many " adventures" in my life.   This blog represents another part of my life ---- a life that I've let go.  A part of my life that sheltered me --- sheltered me from myself many days.

It's a good thing that I no longer need that shelter.  It's still hard however to see it taking slow breaths… laboring to live.   I want to run to it and pump it full of life again.

 Letting it go is -- difficult.   I still have things to say… I think.   But just not here.

Anyone been at this crossroads?

I'm still here. I'm still reading you.

So you will never get to zero.

(Also, I don't know how to unfollow someone. They keep showing up in my Reader over and over and over again.)

BTW - I have 57 happy followers ..

I'm here Supah! That makes 2 you will keep. :)
Since Drex got here I don't blog often and go back and forth with how I feel about that. Sometimes I miss it and sometimes I don't wanna bother.

I read also so I guess I am three! If it makes you feel any better I only have 3 followers. And I am not sure if any of them actually read my blog. But its therapy for me right now!

I have been slacking in the blog department for the past month or so. Busy with outside blogosphere life. Are you quitting blogging?

I think we've all been there. I'm not around much, rarely have time to read blogs, but I'm here :)
So many open up and expose their souls, some are not ready to understand...
Numbers are irrelevant. Quality is key. It seems you have quality readers and that should always be the prime concern, reaching those who are open and care.

I lost one the other day and then it was back again!! I don't worry anymore. I use to wonder but I don't anymore! Who knows why people do what they do!!

I'm here but gotta go to bed!

I'm still here!! Waiting for your words.

Love you!

Wait....I thought you just blogged for me. Who are all these other people?

Jessica said...

I took a blog break for a couple of months but am happy to be jumping back in! I think when you are ready to come back (and if you even want to) the blog world will be waiting with open arms!

but really...

how in the world do you unfollow a blog???

My friend, it appears we are living parallel lives on opposite coasts. I was using the excuse of not having the time to keep my blogs going, but really, I've just lost the drive ... makes me crazy sad. Just read through some of my posts from last January - back when I still had things to say ... ugh! All I'm saying is, I feel ya, Debby!

Shell said...

I am stuck on the same number forever it seems. It will go up...and then someone else unfollows. It's like the universe is mocking me. LMAO

Then again, I don't have time to make the rounds as much as I used to. My new blogging gig keeps me chained to the computer and there are days that when I'm done with that, I don't want to even see a computer. So, I get it.

Or maybe those people just deleted their entire accounts and that is why numbers drop. Yeah, I like to think that happens.

I will always be here. I love reading what you have to say. You are true to your words and that is not something you find everyday. So, like the first lady said, you will never get to zero....maybe 2 but never zero. LOL We will always be around. I have missed a lot of your posts this week so I am catching up. I am glad I decided to check your blog because I don't log on to my dashboard like I should. Don't worry about losing anyone, not worth your words. So, you my lady, keep writing....we will keep reading. BTW, you look amazing in that red dress and POOR you about DBD. It can certainly be the reason behind his snoring. So, maybe if they have to cut his balls off, you will sleep better....FOFLMAO!!!! Thanks for the laughs tonight. I am off to go add myself to CJSMOMMA! (=

STILL HERE!!! :-)
I try not to let it bother me, but it does sometimes, when I see my number go down...and I want to find out who, so I can do the same to them! LOL...oh well..I'm slowly letting go...(i think!)

MB said...

I am following you! I read all of your posts, although I rarely comment. I would hate to see you go! Maybe I should comment more, I am just typically pretty shy and am an observer. lol

Hopefully this can be cured with a break?
