Aaaaaaah, I’m alive friends – I promise! It’s been an eventful hectic week moving from our little apartment to our new condo – especially during the coldest days of the year {-20? sick joke, Chicago}. We survived with all of our fingers in tact, our backs just a little sorer & souls only slightly crushed. Now if only we can get some new furniture and decorations, the place will start to feel like I home. I promise to share some photos once I deem our place presentable {warning: that may be awhile}.
In other news, I wanted to come clean about blogger guilt, because {while I don’t care to admit it} I’ve had a bad case of it lately. Blogger guilt is the unspoken {but well known} curse of feeling bad for a) not blogging “enough”, b) not commenting on other lovely bloggers blogs, or c) not feeling like you’re 100% when you really really wanna be {if only our creative juices were flowing all the time, right?}. I’ve been struggling lately trying to balance the big things in life – a full-time job, a full-time relationship, friends, family, and the big move on top of it all. It’s been tough, and tearing myself up over it all hasn’t helped my case either.
While in the middle of a blogger guilt session, I remembered this quote above by Rilke. It’s probably my favorite quote because it speaks to the core of a lot of my fears, anxieties and worries. No feeling is final, so it’s best to suck it up, face the things that you love and scare you, and remember that nothing lasts forever {the good & the bad}. The great thing about blogging is that you can pick up where you left off, hope that others are still in for the ride, and know that the guilt will melt away, because it’s rather silly to feel guilty in the first place.
Next week, I’ll be back to blogging, back to catching up with all of you, and hopefully mostly unpacked! Have a wonderful weekend, free of blogging guilt! xx
Love to you in freezing Chicago, congrats on completing the move mostly intact! I'm feeling the same way right now – I'm caught between an awful case of uninspiration and blogger guilt from straight up ignoring other blog friends, not posting, not tweeting, whatever. Love this quote, though. No feeling is final is an important reminder.
You've SO got this! There should be no such thing as blogger guilt when you're doing super important things like, oh, I don't know–moving your whole LIFE in below freezing temps! Seriously, I give you so much credit for A) not curling up into a ball and crying and B) even getting this post up. We miss you, but of course take as much time as you need to get things into order. The inspiration will come, for sure! xo
No worries- don't feel guilty at all! you're going through a transition and that's awesome!
YOU MOVED?! i can't wait to see pics!!

We were thinking about you and Brian on Monday with this fridged weather. Were you able to find any friends brave enough to help with the move.
You brave brave soul for moving during those temperatures. Good to hear your fingers and toes are all accounted for! I can so relate to the blogger guilt and beat myself up over it. Lately I've just started realizing that if I don't have something great to post that day it's ok to skip it pick right back up again when I'm feeling inspired. Always here if you want to bounce ideas 🙂
Guilt is never productive! Give yourself some time to recover and learn new things. I like that Ashley
said to wait until you're inspired. Who can be super-inspired in sub-freezing weather? We can wait.
