This is my first ever blog post!!! Like most things I do, I absolutely overthought the background, the font, the colors, the username., etc. All those things that really don't matter. It took me about 4 days to even muster up the courage to say "Hey, I think I want to blog?" But.., what really matters is : WHy am i choosing to start a blog?
Well, recently a coworker of mine told me about a blog that he has been running for the last 18 years. I thought this was insane because i don't know if there is a single thing i'd enjoy doing for more than a month(?). I spent the last two weeks or so, refreshing his blog every morning and reading about all the things he had to say!
As i was reading one of the more recent ones, i thought about how nice it would feel to have all my thoughts and big feelings in one space for someone to read. I enjoy knowing that someone might wake up and refresh MY blog and read about all of MY endless nonsense. Even if no one does, just the thought that someone might care about it is enough for me. There is also of course, all the yada yada about 'talking about my feelings" and "opening up and being vulnerable" which are all good reasons to start a blog too, just not my reason. I am doing it purely for the potential fans! you're welcome. I am kidding of course! I am doing it for the one person, who might care to read this once a week if i'm lucky!
Of course, this someone is going to also have to be willing to put up with the terrible grammar, sometimes very overdramatic feelings and all the bad days. But i promise to reward those who read with silly anecdotes, romantic love letters and pretty good song recommendations too.
SO, I hope this was enjoyable, and that i do it for more than a week.. SEE YA! ◡̈
I am totally impressed with your background and design! Dave has the gift of consistency...a superpower, really (ask him what HE was writing at 20, and why he started blogging!) I don't (I've started about 10 blogs omg) but I love it. The first time I heard the word "blog" it sounded like vomiting words lol... but it's not. It's a great way to express yourself, and you are super expressive. So tons of claps, I'll try to read when I can!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for taking the time to read my nonsense! I hope you find it all fun, entertaining and honest! I am not nearly as consistent, but I am loving it!
