Why Do We Blog???

So, what is the appeal of blogging anyways?

Excellent question. A question my boyfriend asked me the other night. He wondered what my fascination with sharing personal things online is. And honestly it is completely and totally impossible to explain. It’s like the feeling I get when I read someone else’s blog. It’s completely indescribably. It’s like getting a person play-by-play of someone’s day or just getting a quick glimpse into their world. Also you get awesome styling and makeup tips. What more could a girl want? I personally wish I could share style tips with you guys, but I don’t think of my self as very stylish. I am not the most trendy person. I think of myself as the girl who buys stuff she likes that might possibly not be in style at the time at all, but if I like it and it pleases me and looks good on me; who has the right to judge?

Anyways I am getting totally off topic. I started with the question what is so appealing about blogging? I think it makes you feel like people care about your day who don’t even know you. I also feel that if I write about a tough time or an experience someone else could read it and learn something from the way I handled it or how I handled it wrong. It’s advice through experience, which I think is the best kind of advice. It’s not someone with a fancy degree telling you how you should feel, what you should do, and making it all seem like it is perfectly easy to plan out exactly what’s going to happen, which we all know is bull. (I do not mean to demean therapists, I just prefer advice through experience) To me it is much easier to prepare or learn from other people’s mistakes because they have actually gone through it; it makes you feel less strange like you know you’re not the only one going through it.

I also feel like blogging is a great form of self-impression. It’s like being able to share all of your thought with an unlimited number of people without having to standup in front of a huge crowd, which can be very hard if you’re a bit crowd shy like me. Fortunately I am starting to get over that but it still makes my heart race a bit when I am in front of a large group of people talking. >.<

I think that is all for this post. Until next time.
