Blog: Love
Why do I blog?
At first, I thought that my sole reason for starting to blog would be because of boredom— or perhaps to prove to myself that I could also make one for myself. But as I started to ponder on why I decided to embark on this hobby, I came across with more pressing reasons.
I blog because I love to write. It’s like you’re letting words be the masterpiece of your thoughts. Writing is a deeply personal art. And through blogging, I am given the chance to enjoy that art. Blogging is an ideal medium to communicate your strongly held beliefs and knowledge to an audience thirsty for knowledge. You say something and in return you’re also hearing what others have to say. Isn’t that fun?
I blog because I want to see what other writers are doing. Their stories could also be my story. Their sentiments could also reflect the ones that I have. And mine is theirs. It’s like creating a link on what I have to say between what they have to say. The closest analogy that I can think of is that like of a discussion we would have in the classroom way back in college— when somebody would raise a hand to add up to what the professor is saying. And another hand raises to react to what that student said.
I blog because it’s the freest public form of writing. I want to be public with my writing. I want an audience. But I don’t want someone telling me what to write. Blogging gives me that. It gives you freedom and versatility. It gives you a voice and persona which is something I greatly enjoy.
I blog because it forces discipline on me. There’s always that calendar staring at me, coaxing me to create something every single week, whether I think I want to or not. Not wanting to is perhaps only an illusion. I always want to. It gives me a goal, it reminds me to have something done before the week ends.
I blog because of many other reasons.
I blog because I love.
