Where Did You Go?

I know that blog writing is personal, but as a reader, you get attached; and when bloggers just stop writing without any warning, I miss them. I wonder where they went. I still check their blogs regularly and hope there will be a new post.

I know it's a false sense of friendship, but as your read someone's blog, someone's story, you feel like you know them and cultivate a friendship with them. And then, when they just disappear, you feel like you've lost a close friend.

Like most of the personal finance community, I love reading PF blogs! And I get sad when they just disappear. I understand we all write for different reasons; and I understand we all have real lives outside of our blogs. But, I wish bloggers would say goodbye.

I know life happens and most bloggers don't consciously decide to stop writing. However, when you realize that's what happens, as a reader, I wish you would give us a heads up and let us know that you won't be blogging anymore. That would save my time, energy, and heartache sadness.

When and if I decide to stop writing, I will say goodbye. And nobody even reads this blog. I will say goodbye for me.
