Why do I blog? I think the main reason would be that I love to be creative, I always feel better when I’m doing something that isn’t just fruitless and a waste of time. In todays world there’s a lot of that are it’s hard to get away from. I wanted a space where I could “unplug” so to speak, and just be myself.
I needed someplace where there is no pressure to keep up with a constantly changing algorithm, and making posts that I don’t actually care about or even that I want to make in the first place. With blogging, it’s easier. I can write about whatever I want and there’s no pressure from the outside world to keep up with everyone else around me, because there is not this cutthroat competitiveness with blogging (at least not that I’m aware of).
While yes, I probably won’t be the worlds biggest blogger, I feel no pressure to be. I can be me without all the lights and makeup, which don’t get me wrong as a former dancer I love, but it is much more relaxed, which is what I need in a strictly creative environment.
So the reason I blog is simple, I want a place to freely express myself, and a space that takes away all the added pressure that comes with so much of my daily life. It’s an escape into my very own secret garden, somewhere where only I dictate what it looks like. That’s why I choose to blog.
