Bee Yourself

I am an avid WeddingBee’er, so much so that I originally created this blog in the hopes of becoming a “Miss” blogger on the site. I was going to be Miss Manatee haha I have a complete obsession with manatees. I just adore them, they are super lazy, just going with the sway of the ocean and eating all day long.

After my first entry I was hooked, then I got my first followers which weren’t even people I knew and I was so excited! People who don’t know me read my blog?! Get out of town, this is fantastic! I felt like this was a place to get out everything I have on my mind about life. It’s so therapeutic.

So after 3 weeks I had enough entries to apply to Wedding Bee but I didn’t. I wasn’t so sure anymore. This blog had become my escape and release from all the stress I already have, so did I really want to turn that into something else I “had” to do? So I put it on the back burner and continued my blog.

Finally last week I decided after spending a couple hours on reading “Miss” blogs on the Bee I said eff it and decided to apply. I mean this is why I started this blog right? So I applied and waited, I said to myself if they didn’t accept me no big deal I was happy with my blog as it was. But then yesterday I got an email from the Wedding Bee. I had not been accepted, and surprisingly I was a little crushed and disappointed, maybe more than a little. I guess when you put something as personal and close to you as my blog had become to me it stings a little when not everyone likes it. But what was I so upset about? I love my blog and it’s so completely me! It’s not the end of the world, and take it as a sign that I should focus on my blog and keep doing my thing. I have a small but amazing following, two of which are my favorite blogs and I would have never found if I hadn’t started this blog and they had found me. Things happen for a reason. So thank you to everyone who follows and reads my blog! You have truly inspired me.
