life: by brandonjb

Times ago, I blogged on WordPress. We had a great relationship.

I felt as if we were made for each other. We united for one cause: to produce a semi- updated blog that was scarcely read. Life was good.

Then one day our relationship was tarnished. It struck like lightning! A new site had mugged me and stole my heart. A young trendy site that boasted indie bands and a the key to its heart. It offered me seamless control of my whole site. uber.com blew me a kiss, and in it was packaged a blog.

I moved all of my things. I transferred quickly. The guilt of leaving pained me. In a flash, I was gone. I let WordPress keep my old blogs. I could never completely cut it off. I wanted to keep WordPress. Only as a backup though. Somewhere to go when I needed to vent or let something go. Something to fall back on.

Meanwhile, my new love uber gave me everything I needed. My views jumped. I was starting to become attached; what was once just a friendly account turned very serious.

Then that day came.

I went to uber.com to update my blog and I read these crushing words:

We’re moving to a new home.
Sorry for the inconvenience we should be up soon.
Sign up for notifications here.
-uber

Those words gave me no direction. I had nowhere to blog.

All of this time WordPress had been strong. Thriving without a thought of me. The site that I treated so wrong, seemed so right.

It invited me back with open arms. I always thought I was the strong one, but WordPress didn’t need me to thrive. I needed it.

Now I’m back with WordPress. I just hope our future outshines our past. Who knows what this blog will produce. I’m just glad to be in with WordPress.
