WHY I LOVE BLOGGING
Lately, I’ve spent a lot of time reflecting on the
things that I love about blogging. I’ve finally found
a good rhythm and schedule which has made me
10x easier for me to truly enjoy the things I love
about blogging and not focus on the things that
drive me a little crazy. So today, I thought I’d
share some of the biggest reasons I truly do love
blogging. I’d love to hear why you do, too!
1. It’s an outlet for me to share my inner most
thoughts and my most ridiculous, wouldn’t-
share-with-anything-else thoughts.
2. It’s served as a personal account of my
journey at times and has given me
something to look back at when I want to
see where I’ve been, what I’ve done, and
how I’ve gotten here.
3. It’s helped me accept myself and value
who I am as I’ve processed my struggles.
4. The people I’ve met have been absolutely
incredible. There are friends who I would
have never known, cultures I would have
never understood, and places I would have
never knew existed without all of the
beautiful people I’ve come to meet in my
5 years of blogging.
5. It’s given me a creative space to help ideas
grow.
6. I’ve become more intentional in how I live
after getting lost in blogging for the wrong
reasons. I know I wouldn’t have “lost my
way” if I didn’t have a blog, but I’ve come
to appreciate how I live now so much that
I’m actually incredibly grateful for getting a
little lost along the way.
7. It’s made me a better writer. Hundreds of
blog posts tend to do that.
8. I’ve more disciplined and organized now.
Blogging takes a lot of discipline and
organization for me so it forced me to
become better at these things in order to
move forward.
9. The opportunities I’ve had because I was a
blogger are still crazy to me. It still never
ceases to amaze me how much power this
title can hold if you’re doing things right.
10. And along with that, the experience I’ve gained
and the things I’ve received are even more
mind-blowing to me. It can be hard work to
generate that experience and these
opportunities, but it’s so worth it.
11. The comments and connections that have
reminded me in the most subtle of ways
that I’m not alone (especially when I’m
struggling) have prevented many
breakdowns.
12. It gave me the confidence to start a
business that has forever changed my life.
13. It’s given me new places to want to visit.
14. And created a laundry list of new foods and
projects to try to create.
15. It’s one of the few things in my life that I
know I will get out of it what I put in. My
time and effort always pays off, even if it’s
in a way I didn’t expect it to.
16. It’s something that can be done in millions
of different little ways which makes it such
a personal and unique way to express
yourself that I can’t do elsewhere.
17. While some would argue there are plenty
of rules you should follow (myself included
at one point in time), I no longer agree with
that and love blogging because of it. The
rules are are simply guidelines or ideas,
but they aren’t required which is
something I’m grateful for. I’m a rule
breaker down to my very core so not having
any rules to break makes it so much easier.
18. It’s my own one-person show, which means
I’m not taking orders from anyone else and
I can work when I want to. I do not miss
that aspect of a corporate job.
19. It’s allowed me to help make a difference
in someone’s life at least a couple of times
and I can’t imagine a greater feeling.
