An Open Letter of Apology to My First Blog

Dear First Blog,

I am sorry that I have been neglecting you lately.  I didn’t mean to ignore you; I didn’t forget you!  Honestly, I just need to tell you the truth about what’s going on.  So, here goes…

I started another blog.  This has nothing to do with you.  Don’t think you’re inadequate or anything like that.  I just… I needed some space.  Moving to another country and all, I felt very strongly that I needed to branch out and do my own thing.  So, I started a travel blog. 

This travel blog is NOT meant to replace you.  You will always be my first blog.  For that reason, you hold a special place in my heart.  Don’t ever forget it!

Lately, I’ve been plagued with guilt.  I keep thinking about you and how I should write a new post to fill your empty webpages, but I haven’t had the time.  The travel blog is so needy – he takes up all of my time!  Documenting my daily adventures is a long and sometimes difficult process.  I remember when I used to write new posts for you; those posts were always fun to dream up.  I wasn’t confined to any certain topic or genre.  Now, with this travel blog, I have to write specifically about my travels and classes abroad.  How annoying is that?  Seriously.  It’s almost like he’s using me for my adventures.

Anyway, the point of this letter is to ask for your forgiveness.  I was wrong to abandon you for so long.  Please, can you find it in your programmed, electronic heart to forgive me?  Will you take me back?  I’d love to write for you again.  I’ll write about anything you want.  The good, the bad, the ugly.  Just say you want me back, and I’ll be here for you.

Yours always,



Kristin
