This was suppose to be my 101st blog post which explains the title but things came in between. However, these 4(?) years of blogging hasn't particularly made me an expert in blogging so I don't feel like I am the rightful person to give advice. What I can do though is share what blogging means to me and how it has changed my life.
I used to have a lot of opinions that I didn't share with people. These opinions kept burning inside of me and I became angry and frustrated with the world. This was one of the reasons for why I started writing a blog; I felt the need to express my opinions and my friends were getting sick of hearing it. When having an online platform where I could write whatever I liked I suddenly became less afraid of expressing my opinions and I actually stand for what I thought. It was relieving to not be afraid of speaking up for once.
Having a blog means a lot to me, it's a place where I can say whatever I want (thank g-d for freedom of speech) but it is also a place where I can reach out to other people which is something that I value a lot in my life. There are people out there that sometimes just need to hear from someone else that they are not the only one going through something or getting annoyed at an article, at least this helps me at times. We are often told that we spend too much time infront of the computer but what the people that claim this don't understand is that sometimes this helps us grow and get inspired by other people.
To be honest, I don't read many other blogs and I don't expect anyone to actually ready mine but the fact that it is out there at least gives people a chance to read it and hopefully I can help one or two by sharing my experiences.
So what would I tell someone who considers blogging?
Just do it, no one forces you to write on a regular basis and it shouldn't feel like something pressuring. Whenever you want to write, you can write. Blogging doesn't have to be a job. Some people make lots of money by blogging but that shouldn't be the reason for why you do it. If that happens because you write things that people want to read it's only a bonus but just remember, the second you make a living from it you've lost a part of the freedom. You can blog about anything, that's the beauty of it. If people don't want to read it they can choose not to but you have at least given it a chance to reach out to other people.
So my 101+ blogposts have taught me to believe in myself and be brave about speaking up. Hopefully this will continue and I'll be able to share more of my life and opinions with you.
