Train in Napa, CA
I've been thinking recently why I blog, and I don't have an answer. At first of course I wanted to have a lot of readers and make money off my blog. I could picture myself sitting on the beach in Thailand, feet in the sand, blogging everyday and living off my sponsors. That dream lasted for two days until I realized how many blogs there were in the blog world, and how little I had to say. I know the key to a successful blog is having something interesting to blog about more than once a week. That is my problem. I don't know what to blog about. Nothing surprising here: it's kind of a reflection on my life at the moment. I don't know what I want to do with my life. There seem to be too many choices and yet not many options at all. I know big things don't happens without hard work, but I don't know what to work hard on...
I love many things in this world: photography, art, books, cooking, moving my body, learning about health, and fashion, but so far none of these seem to fit into my blog. I also want to be orignal, which is even harder considering 1,000's of girls blog everyday about things they cook, meals they eat, clothes they wear and places they have been.
I have decided I don't my blog to be a public journal documenting all the things I eat and do each day. That is not for me. I also don't want to have a blog full of many words (such as right now). I prefer a simple, yet sweet blog entry that has some photos and some words.
I want to find inspiration and spread creativity. I would also like to be a part of the blog world. At the moment, I feel very much on the outside looking in.
And so here I go, time to blog for myself and find something that resonates with me.
i think blogging is like therapy kind of. it evolves as you evolve and it becomes super personal and meaningful. at least that's been my experience with the kind of blogging that i do.
