NEW BLOG HEADER SIZE

Saturday

listen to your own voice...

There has been something that has been bothering me, lately... and, it's reading too much advice from other bloggers on what they think you should blog about, and what should be off limits to you. In my opinion, no one should give advice like that. Since it's your blog, you govern the right to say whatever you'd like, whenever you'd like to say it. I just want others to listen to their very own voice and realize (if you're feeling pressured) that no matter what type/style of blog you have... it's yours and that is a special thing. Don't wish you had someone else's blog and start blogging (or not blogging) about certain things to cater to them. I've made this mistake, and it really bothers me that others have, too! Just stay true to yourself and let your emotions pour out...
Of course, having boundaries for your blog is a very good thing at times... and I know I have them. Those boundaries about what you will and you won't say are totally up to you! If you're interested, I'll tell you a little bit about my boundaries that I set for this blog, personally...
1. No cursing 
2. No nudity
3. No bashing other people
I always want to make sure that this blog stays appropriate for all ages to be inspired. I don't want my blog to be off limits or considered rash in the eyes of parents. I want to keep it family friendly... and this is my personal goal. Yours may be different and that is okay! The beauty of blogging lies in diversity.
I love my blog! (and I'm SO not ashamed!) I hope you have a blog that relieves your stress
and it's a happy place for you!!
love, polly

Yes, yes, yes! I totes agree with you. It makes me so upset when people say what you should or shouldn't post about on your blog. Your blog should be your happy place where you can just be you and not have to conform.

I love you dress! So fall-ish and pretty. :) ♥

I very much agree with you! A lot of bloggers ask their followers what they should blog about as if they need to pander to an audience, but I don't think that's the way really. Love the outfit and the background! xx

I love your blog and I love mine. I don't have much readers, but I don't mind. Because it's just a place for me to keep my memories :)
