Why I Blog
In fact, a much more appropriate title for this post in my case would be something like “Five reasons why I still blog” or “Five reasons why I keep on and not give up.” But first things first.
The fact that no matter how bitter I am from the fact that sometimes I write as if in the dark, I am not yet ready to give it up. I want to continue for now.
#1 — I Like to Write
Yes, I just like to write. Since childhood, when I wrote detective stories and wrote them down in a notebook in a cage. I have always enjoyed writing letters. And even essays. And also dream books, where I wrote down my dreams.
I like to express my thoughts and experiences on paper, even virtual ones. I like to describe what happened or what I am living through. I seem to understand it better, realize it more clearly.
#2 — I Like to Share
I really love to tell stories. And my blog is my stories. About travel, about life abroad, about experiences and difficulties, about joys and successes. Stories, sometimes born under the influence of silly emotions and sometimes surprisingly structured and balanced. Whatever they were, but I can share them here. And this opportunity is simply priceless for me. And on top of that, I enjoy sharing things that can be useful to others as well. Or what, I think, may be interesting to others.
#3 — My Blog Is My Fortress
An outlet, a home, a favorite, and a dear place. This is how I feel it. I remember when I was just setting everything up on the template, choosing colors, fonts, panels, all sorts of gimmicks, it reminded me of moving when you pick up new curtains, napkins, towels.
You arrange vases and candles, decorate, dress up, create coziness. So it was with my blog. I put things in order.
True, I did not bring it to an end. I didn’t even go back to those very first posts, where photos are not displayed as they should and where the font size is not what it should be. But I will definitely do it.
#4 — My Blog Helps Me Live With Meaning, Live With Feeling
From the moment I started blogging about life, all my days in one way or another became much more filled with feelings, meanings, sensations, and so on. After all, I began to relate to them much more consciously. Knowing that I would like to tell you about 5 of my favorite beaches or why it is worth going here in the fall, I became much more observant and much more attentive. I began to track the responses within myself. What you like, what you don’t like.
#5 — Blog as a Tool for Self-Knowledge
What could be more interesting than getting to know yourself? To discover something new in yourself? Previously unknown, inaccessible. With the page creation, I began to look for myself anew. It may be hard to believe, but blogging is, whatever one may say, but to a certain extent, the collapse of the old world. Old life. Old self.
