Why Blog?

I recently enjoyed a conversation with a friend on the power of social networking and the use of the Internet. We discussed for a bit things like YouTube and how it is a great outlet for anyone who wants to express their creative capabilities and have a sense of communal relationship through their interests. Of course we talked about my time with my YouTube channel and a few things came into my head, mainly, why?

Why did I do this YouTube thing? Why am I blogging now?

First, I decided to create a YouTube channel, because at the time, there were very few "gurus" who discussed bargain shopping or thrift shopping. Nowadays, there is an innumerable amount of those type of "gurus" which is awesome because it is relevant and is a great way to shop. It was fun while it lasted, but I did not know how much work and time went into creating videos especially with good content. I decided to stop since I felt that I was portraying myself in a way that wasn't genuine, and that infuriated me. Now though, I feel that I am comfortable in my own skin to where I can potentially start it up again, with a different frame of mind. (Stay tuned ;) )

Now, why blog? In the past few days, I have to say I have been blogging excessively. During our discussion, I came to realize that this is great therapy for me. I have the ability to lay out my thoughts, and to think critically about what is occurring in my life. I have been following some good blogs with awesome content, and I have been inspired to do so again myself, because maybe in a year or ten, I can reflect on what I was going through and compare it to what's happening in the present.

I am excited to be doing this again. Sadly knowing my habits, I will be completely obsessed for a week, then move on... But hopefully I can change that. Hopefully at least one person can relate and understand my thoughts and mentality.. If not.. At least I have this to look back on!


Bye for now,
