This has been the question on my mind lately. Until recently I had considered blogging to be somewhat self-centered. I wanted a place where I could write about some of the thoughts in my head, but wondered if a blog was the right place. I have ideas and projects I want to share with my friends, but wonder if they would really be that interested. On the flip side, I love reading the blogs of some of my Facebook buddies. Two of my favorite blogs are from girls I only briefly interacted with during my two years of living in Virginia Beach.
In the end it was my husband who encouraged me to do this. I guess he figured it would be a good creative outlet for me. Although, I think he just likes the idea of me sharing my ideas and random thoughts with other girls instead of him. He is a good listener, but not nearly as concerned as I am with what decor would look best in the laundry room. Nor is he concerned with achieving delicious, quick and affordable dinners.
So if you're interested you can follow me on this blogging journey. I guess if you find some of what I write about helpful, inspiring, or encouraging then I can consider this a successful endeavor.
i wouldn't quite call it self-centered... like you said, it's a good creative outlet, as well as a way to express thoughts & feelings. it also helps you connect with others. i think journaling is a good mental health activity... this is just some sort of public journal experience. :]
ReplyDeleteThanks for your thoughts. I agree with you, journaling IS a good mental health activity. :)
