Happy Blogiversary???
A year ago, I sat at my computer and made the solid decision to start blogging in order to clear my mind. I fell off the blogger wagon for a while, but I made a quick recovery! When I first started this thang called JENuine Blogs...I never ever thought I would have readers. But here I am! Over 3,000 views later!! :) Blogging has taught me many things and that is what this blog is about.
That blogging is sociable. When I started off, I was writing for myself and only really sharing it with my friends. When I say a few, I mean literally maybe two or three! I didn’t have the confidence to share my posts with the world, and just kind of hoped they would be discovered and people would like them. Then I was urged to go public, as after all, isn’t that the point of writing a blog, so that people can read it?! A few months later, I started sharing my posts on Facebook and was overwhelmed by the positive messages I got in return.
That writing is therapeutic. Writing down your thoughts really does help to organize them, and is a lot cheaper than counselling! Laying your feelings bare is pretty scary sometimes, but feeling that fear somehow helps me feel stronger, if that makes sense.
That blogging is addictive. I’m still here after a year, so there is definitely a sense of addiction there. I always feel better after publishing a post too…then spend ages having a look to see how many people are reading! Don't worry...I can't see names. Just numbers! :)
I can inspire. I've inspired a couple people to start their own blog and it is great! Have I ever thought that I would be an inspiration to someone? psssh...nope. But it happens without trying! I often hear someone’s story and think, you should write a blog about that! There are so many people I know who would be amazing bloggers, so maybe they will read this and decide to give it a go!
So go on, if you haven’t started writing yet, what are you waiting for? You never know where you will be a year from now.
What Blogging has taught me in 365!
