After a lot of ridiculous, self indulgent back-and-forth inside my own head, I have decided to discontinue my participation in Project 358. Even as I write this, I feel bad about my decision: I'm a quitter; I'm a failure. But the fact of the matter is, I'm not enjoying it anymore. It was fun at first, and definitely got me to blog more; but recently I've come to resent the obligation. At times I felt overwhelmed because there were several non-Project-related topics I wanted to write about, but as a mother of two children, I have very limited writing time; and since I didn't want to get too far behind in the blessed Project, I usually ended up focusing on that. Cue feelings of overwhelm and frustration. All of this over a goddamn blog that, what, 15 people read? Kiiiiiiinda' silly, non? Oui!
So, yes. I'm a quitter, but I feel alright about it. Now, I can post photos when I damn well please and write when I feel inspired to do so.
Farewell, Project 358...It was good while it lasted!
Good for you Ali! It takes a lot of determination for a OCD person to be a quitter. :) Trust me, I know. I'm glad you stopped if it's not working out for you. I enjoy your pics whether they are in order of your days or not, and look forward to other topics you might want to talk about!
