I blog for myself, to remember things and places I go.To get things off my chest.
To connect with others.
To help me see things laid out in front of me.
To hear your opinions and know that I'm not alone.
To meet new people I wouldn't otherwise meet in real life.
To express myself.
To find like minded people.
To share things I make.
To share things I love.
To keep myself busy when unemployment gets me down.
To have a reason to play with Photoshop.
To have a place to keep track of all my favorite things & inspirations.
To inspire others.
So...why do you blog?
To connect with others.
To help me see things laid out in front of me.
To hear your opinions and know that I'm not alone.
To meet new people I wouldn't otherwise meet in real life.
To express myself.
To find like minded people.
To share things I make.
To share things I love.
To keep myself busy when unemployment gets me down.
To have a reason to play with Photoshop.
To have a place to keep track of all my favorite things & inspirations.
To inspire others.
So...why do you blog?
And because I've been wanting to try one of these linky widgets for a while now, link up below with your own post about why you blog! I promise to stop by and read :)
I love all your reasons...this is a great post! And I completely hear you with, 'To keep myself busy when unemployment gets me down' Along with many other reasons why blogging is fantastic, it's really helped me in that area too.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of doing this also, if I do, I'll be sure to link back. Have a great day:)
I blog to inspire others to find some too, share myself with others and my thoughts, to journal, help spread the word about giveaways :)

I don't have a blog yet, but I'm hoping to inspire others the way I get inspired by a lot of bloggers :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I know how great it is to write something down. Sometimes it's such a relief you can share your thoughts, problems, happiness and sadness.
Sweet Alycia, don't you worry about a thing, because every little thing is gonna be alright :)
I really loved this post. So much that I did it myself. :]

what a simple, yet intensely thought-provoking question! I found you through Liv @ Choosing Beauty's e-course, and I am so glad she sent us here for inspiration. I posted my link above, and I can't wait to go through and read everyone else's reasons for blogging.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very cool idea. And I didn't realize this kind of widget even existed! I'm doing Liv's course too, so the link I submitted is both Why I blog and it's purpose. Looking forward to seeing why other people blog what they do!
ReplyDeleteAaw, love this. :)
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog via Liv's e-course and am so glad I did! It's lovely. Em x
