Ever feel like a little fish?

I have been entering my photos in a ton of challenges, I don't understand this big pond at times. Followers just don't follow me....I get it, my life is just not that interesting and my photos are not amazing. Sometimes being a little fish in a big pond is lonely. I just don't fit. I am NOT a photographer never claimed to be, I am however a mother of 2 kids who use to have a passion for so many things and the time to put in to them all. My days now are filled with work and kids,homework and cooking,laundry and diapers. I love it but it gets lonely at times, adult conversation is not something I get in my daily life, even at work I am with kids! I bought my camera a month ago with the goal of documenting my kids growing up. I am surrounded by people who take amazing pictures and thought this would be a place that maybe I would fit into.....who am I kidding!!
I just get lost in the mix.

Don't focus on what you don't have. I don't have hundreds of followers, but the followers I do have are always there for me with cheerful words of encouragement. You take beautiful pictures, you have created a beautiful family and a welcoming home...what more can you ask for?

The day to day grind can get to ya, take a few minutes for yourself, even if you have to lock yourself in the bathroom for a moment of solitude. Be proud of what you have created and what you have accomplished, I know that all your followers are proud of you!

It's not about the followers or whatever else...it's me thinking out loud. Before i was a mommy I was outgoing and very like able, now that I'm a mommy I have all I ever want and need...but finding my place is a lot more difficult for me now. Kenny doesn't understand so I voice myself on here...not for a sympathy vote just to let it out :)
