I think your bright side comes across on your blog and I don't think a lot of people would expect you to share with everyone when things get you down.<br />It all about celebrating the fun things, having little treats, paying it forward, saying thanks, not keeping the 'good' handbag just for special occasions and my day is certainly made a little brighter with blogs I follow like yours.<br />Katiehollygolightlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00298279198813496808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4918559434689983550.post-74611966129496856292014-01-09T14:19:12.102-05:002014-01-09T14:19:12.102-05:00Thanks so much for your honesty--it is greatly app...Thanks so much for your honesty--it is greatly appreciated! I worry that your message is lost when you say that there are always people who are uglier than you. I think, as women, we need to focus on non-physical attributes (such as determination and intelligence) as markers of success, not appearances. <br /><br />That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed this post and your insight is really helpful--a sunny disposition can make all the difference in the world!Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12579897726791089538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4918559434689983550.post-30761424701401612512014-01-07T14:46:49.602-05:002014-01-07T14:46:49.602-05:00This is such a great post!

It must be hard to be a young person and see all these blogs-it can make life seem really superficial at times. I hope the anonymous poster is feeling better and btw, kudos for them to write a heartfelt question in a very gracious way.<br />-linda, ny lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058867044295058233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4918559434689983550.post-91374541578739448302014-01-06T20:59:17.368-05:002014-01-06T20:59:17.368-05:00Very true, great post!

I sometimes feel very fake when I just go on and on about cute clothes, makeup, hair, etc., but I agree 100% with what you said: we post happy and sometimes frivolous things to entertain others and make them happy. I definitely have to keep reminding myself of this! Thanks so much for putting it in writing! :)<br /><br />Poised and Preppy<br />www.poisedandpreppy.blogspot.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15461747875704269104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4918559434689983550.post-61581739227294577862014-01-06T17:37:43.079-05:002014-01-06T17:37:43.079-05:00Love that you've posted something that is clos...Love that you've posted something that is close to your heart and with more depth. We all certainly compare our lives to others too much because of social media, but to be honest, a lot of people do guard their "darker" side so it's hard to know what their lives are really like. I always appreciate when a fellow blogger shows a bit more of their personal side and how you reached out to that reader and then sharing it here shows that you are human and do have bad days, but blogging only about the good days is not a bad thing. I think it's refreshing to see things through your (seemingly always) positive perspective!<br /><br />-Chelsea<br />chelsandthecity.blogspot.comChelsea Oliverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00444354210958777592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4918559434689983550.post-69948922581030519372014-01-06T13:28:57.680-05:002014-01-06T13:28:57.680-05:00Love this post!

I try to keep my blog "happy," too, but I received an email like this a while back and was inspired to share some of the not so pretty moments in my life. But you're right--attitude is so important!

I've followed your blog for years and have always thought of you as one of the more "real" bloggers out there. You might not throw out every detail of your life, good or bad, but there's a perfect balance. You're right, its all about perspective!Sara Elizabeth https://www.blogger.com/profile/03030168343333784256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4918559434689983550.post-90172217929297492202014-01-06T12:52:56.808-05:002014-01-06T12:52:56.808-05:00More posts like this please!!

I definitely agree that social media causes us to frequently compare our life to others and that can be quite difficult.

I try not to post about the hard times in my life, but I keep the same idea in mind; that I want to keep people happy and give them a place to find happiness and inspiration.
