Why are you so obsessed with me?

I've said it before, my blog reveals more about my life than what I tell people in real life. 99% of people I know in real life don't know that I blog. Can someone tell me why the hell people in real life constantly talk about my personal business?!


If it wasn't for my dude friend I wouldn't know exactly how obsessed people are with what I'm doing. He's told me many conversations he's had with people who want to know what's going on with us. 

There are very few people who I tell what's actually going on in my life. Most of them I've met through blogging. I just don't understand why certain people want to know what I'm doing in my life just so they can turn around and gossip about it. 

I'm 21 years old. I'm single. Yes, I'm obviously going to go out with friends, go on dates and whatever else I want to do. Just because I go out with a guy doesn't mean anything more than I went out with a guy. It frustrates me that two guys I've gone out with had to deal with the questioning. Then it brings up the whole "what are we" conversation way before that conversation should ever happen. 

Sometimes these people will come to me and ask me if I'm dating anyone. I make it pretty clear that they're not going to get details, which is probably why they then go to the dude. It just amazes me, I've never been so concerned with someone else's life.

Have any of you dealt with people who are too concerned with your personal business? How did you deal with it?

Now or never... (QUICK UPDATE)

I wasn't lying when I said that I wanted to get back into blogging. However, life took multiple turns and I've been too busy to sit down at my computer and produce a decent blog post. It can't hurt to fill in anyone that still reads my blogs, but might not closely follow me on social media. After TWO years of being single and not being into the idea of dating anyone, I'm actually in a relationship. I know at the beginning of a relationship it's expected to be in the state that you feel like you've never been happier. The difference is, I've known my boyfriend for 11 years. When we were young, we'd always act like a couple. We never had a "title" back then no matter how many times we reconnected. Seven months ago, he finally moved back home. I was so excited to have him back in my life. Then I realized that I wasn't okay with just being his friend. After about 5 months of blowing him off and him giving up trying to hang out, I finally ex...

You can’t blog with us!

I’m not digging all of these big shot bloggers trying to make these rules for blogging. I have read posts about how not everyone should have a blog. If you’re not a big shot blogger, like myself.. this post is for you. If you are a big shot blogger, this post is also for you.. but, none of you will read this. These are just some of the rules that I don’t follow.. Your blog will be judged by it’s cover. Have a perfect layout. If spending $100 to have some make a layout for my blog means you’ll read my blog and you’ll follow me.. then I don’t give a damn if you’re not following me. Respond to all comments left on your blog. It is important to respond to comments.. however, I do understand why people can’t always respond. Personally.. if you ask me something I most likely will respond. A lot of the time I get comments that pretty much all I can say is “Thank you!” to.. I mean.. I’ll absolutely always respond if you e-mail me.. or even if you comment on instagram.. I respond almost inst...

Thoughts from an ex-blogger..

My desire to get back to writing has been so strong lately. I can't seem to figure out if I want to blog again. At the same time, I REALLY want to blog again. I've found comfort in my privacy. This comfort has made me uncomfortable with openly sharing details of my life. However, blogging always was there to provide me with an outlet to express my thoughts, feelings and emotions. The people I was able to connect with through blogging was always an incredible bonus. I didn't want to blog when I realized that people that I don't want to be part of my life were reading my blog posts. During this time I also stopped being active on Twitter and Instagram. I felt that it was unfair to me that specific people were able to catch up on my life via social media. There are many issue I face with returning to my blog. I need to allow myself to step outside of my comfort zone of keeping my life private. I need to be okay with the fact that some people, that shouldn't be ...
