It;s true that sometimes everything seems to be perfect in the blogosphere, but really, us "bloggers" are just normal people with normal problems too.<br /><br />I think my list of imperfections would go on for more than just a single blog post :) I feel the same way about meeting new people - I am very uncomfortable in new social situations. I feel like I cannot be myself with strangers (And constantly worry about how I'm being perceived by others). I think this is something that most people are concerned about...a lot more than I thought judging by the comments here.<br /><br />Cheers to you for putting yourself out there and being vulnerable in front of so many people (who obviously think you're great just the same)!<br /><br />*TaniaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4703491948504687618.post-58283864996508353962010-10-21T23:20:48.430-04:002010-10-21T23:20:48.430-04:00Great post Kerry.

Blogging does tend to paint everything with a silver lining so I really appreciate it when a blogger writes an honest post and reveals more of their true self. That's a tough thing to do!

Don't ever let people think you're perfect. I recently had an epiphany with my bf about why I was upset about something. You've inspired me to blog about it. I will send you a link when it's up.

I agree - it's all about being happy! :) I do wish we had, had the chance to meet @ the show - but hopefully another time! :)<br /><br />@Christine - your comment truly made me smile! My bathroom could also use a good scrub... and I really want to read your post when you post about a typical day! haha<br /><br />@Liz - I'm so glad you overcame that hurdle and came to the show! You're just as sweet in person as you are through your blog, comments & the emails we have exchanged!<br /><br />@Brittany - Thank YOU for the inspiration to write this. It's been a long time coming I think, you just got me here more quickly! :)<br /><br />@Anabela - Thank you so much for your comment, and for reading!

I adore reading many of these design blogs from you ladies (some of which posted comments on your blog). I would love to blog also, just because I love to write and am the kind of person who expresses well in written words. I always think it would be just one more thing to do, more stress, that's all I need. You have shown me that it's something you truly love doing and enjoy it...not so much a task, but an outlet (hope this makes sense)...not to say I am ready to blog, but reading your blog (and many others) is relaxing...thank you for the glimpse into your lives...keep up the good work/blog!!<br />Anabela (faithful blog(s) reader)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4703491948504687618.post-86983253251144077782010-10-21T16:09:35.992-04:002010-10-21T16:09:35.992-04:00Great post Kerry, I am glad that you were inspired...Great post Kerry, I am glad that you were inspired to write about this.<br /><br />I am sooo happy to see that everyone has the courage to put all their "imperfections" out there.

I struggle about career, life, love, family? everything basically!! I too, am indecisive, I actually suffer from social anxiety! No joke, so the whole S&C show was a huge hurdle for me, but I am so happy I went and got to meet all the lovely bloggers, like yourself!<br /><br />You know what I think I will do a similar post as this comment is getting long ;)Wallpaperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04523351555962491210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4703491948504687618.post-32535982604485539752010-10-21T14:30:40.938-04:002010-10-21T14:30:40.938-04:00Aww, Kerry, I think everyone can totally relate. ...Aww, Kerry, I think everyone can totally relate. You are not alone!<br /><br />Sometimes it's so hard to find a balance. I come home at the end of the day and I'm tired (or lazy, usually both!) and don't have energy to do all things I want to do... make dinner, blog, read, clean my bathroom!! Confession: My bathroom seriously needs a good scrubbing right about now!<br /><br />It's all about finding a balance and sometimes it's okay to let things go and just watch some TV with the hubby!<br /><br />Maybe that should be my next blog post "Today I worked, watched TV, complained about "what's for dinner", wasted time on the internet and went to bed".

Blogging can be misleading as it can let you focus on the fun stuff...while the ugly 'real-life' magically disappears while you're typing away. Anyway allow yourself to be happy. My imperfections? Eat WAY too much chocolate, can't remember the last time I excercized and focus too much on 'how busy I am' instead of just getting sh*t done. See? you are not alone.

There's something freeing about this post; the honesty is wonderful. It's good to know other people feel this way. I'm definitely with you on the whole think about the next step. Often, I can't eve focus in the present moment because there are so many other things I want to do, wish I could do and so on...This is a good idea...maybe I will do a short post on this topic (: You're great and I love your writing.

When I'm with close friends/family I am a normal human being, but put me around a crowd of near strangers and I get obnoxious. I try not to worry about it, but days later I am still thinking about how many times I made the same exact comment just to make sure everyone heard me say it.

You...Thanks so much for this honest post Kerry. You're so right about the blogging world. I think the whole "trying to be perfect" thing has become even more apparent for me since I have started reading blogs. You see all these incredible women, doing all these incredible things and making it work, but it's just not possible. Something has to give. And I'm feeling that, right now, with everything that I am taking on. Work is starting to slip and I find I am not spending as much time with my family as I did before. It's hard to balance everything. <br /><br />Thanks again for letting us into your life Kerry and giving another aspect to this crazy blogging world.Shannon @ What's Up Whimsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17837413464368494537noreply@blogger.com
