Why I blog

Why do you blog?

I blog because I need to write.

Sure, I could just write in my journal or try to publish, but the first is not enough, and the second is too much.

I blog because I need to share my thoughts.

Maybe that’s selfish or egotistical, but I feel the need to get those ideas out of my head and into the world so I can ease the pressure of a crowded mind.

I blog because I want to feel heard.

Like any human, I want to feel connected to others. While I am lucky enough to be surrounded by friends and loved ones, I also want to feel like I can be heard in the world.

I blog because I want others to feel seen.

I have a small audience, but I always hope that what I write can help someone. Someone who struggles and confused, someone is lost, someone who thinks they are the only one who has ever felt that way, someone who is confused. If there’s even a small chance I can make them feel less alone- then blogging is worth it.
