when i first started blogging on that christmas eve night in 2008, i had NO idea it would turn into what it has. seriously, i started this blog as a way to write my thoughts down and keep my family updated on my life. i have always been a terrible journal keeper, and i thought a blog was the perfect way for me to share what i had to say.
the other night i was up watching teen mom 2 and was reading through older posts and i realized how much i have grown as a person. i love that this has been a place for me to share my thoughts and adventures. my life as been wonderful, sad, happy, and crazy all at the same time. when ever i am feeling down, i can read older posts and realize how much i have grown.
this blog is my outlet. this is the place where i can really be myself, i have really worked hard especially the last year or so to make this a REAL outlook on how i am. often when i read other blogs i ask myself "i wonder if this is how they really are?" or if they are just putting up a "blog front". do you ever ask your self that? anyways, i hope when people read my blog they enjoy it and really can see i am 100% real on here. of course there are some things that are very personal to me that i dont blog about but, i think i have done an ok job at trying to be as real as i can.
i read about other bloggers who get mean emails or comments about how they are the way they are. it really makes me sad. i haven't had to experience that yet, thank goodness. but, if it ever happens i want them to know this my blog and the place where i can blog about whatever i want. if you dont like it then dont read it. simple right?
this whole reason for this post is just me writing my feelings on blogging. yep i just blogged about blogging. haha.
i really am so grateful for this blog and all the blessings it has brought into my life. from this blog i have grown into a strong woman, as well as made some amazing friends. even though i probably will never meet all of them in person, they really are some of the coolest friends and i hope one day to meet some of them in real life.
i better wrap up this super long post. i just wanted to say thank you to all you who read and follow abcde. you guys are awesome!
xoxo

i reallly like this post. and that you were watching teen mom 2. haha. that's my favorite show.
ReplyDeletei just found your blog, and i'm excited to read more!
Blogging is a great way to keep track of your thoughts, ideas, and inspiration. The most important thing I have to keep telling myself is to blog for me. Anything else that happens after that (ie. followers, sponsors, product reviews, etc) is just icing on the cake! :)
