Why do you blog?
I saw this prompt and jumped on it. It was the perfect question to some thoughts I’ve been having.
A couple of weeks ago,I tried to add some hashtags to a post about happiness. I started to type the word ‘happiness’, and then a flood of similar hashtags I had previously used popped up. I selected the ones I needed, and then I published my post… but then, I went back to read all the previous posts with the happiness related hashtags.
It was a revelation.
Reading my words from previous years told me so much.
First off, it opened my eyes to why I was so much happier when I did the ‘100 days of happiness’ challenge that I had stolen off of Brian’s blog http://www.writingfromtheheartwithbrian.com
Then, of course, it explained why I am a lot more stressed and why I keep feeling like I’m not doing enough for myself.
I blog because it serves as a sort of diary and I can come back here and read about myself…and remember the whens and the whys.
I blog because I get to meet and relate with people everyday on my blog and theirs. I have met some lovely people here.
I blog because writing makes me relaxed.
I blog because it makes me happy.
