I try to comment as much as humanly possible, but I feel like I am always behind. It's a real problem! BUt I enjoy it! And I want to! Because like you said, no one wants to feel like they're blogging into the void! So I'll keep trying, and I'll probably keep being behind, but at least I am doing my best!

But I also found at one point that a lot of the comments I was getting and giving just felt hollow and obligatory, joining in memes and whatnot, and I was kind of burning myself out. So now I have a smaller sphere of bloggers I regularly interact with, but it feels more meaningful.
