Happy Sunday!
It's 11pm as I write this and I've got work tomorrow, and I am REALLY regretting the two vanilla lattes I just drank in the past two hours. I don't think my brain has -ever- felt this switched on.
I've just taken part of a really lovely twitter chat hosted by @Bliss_Bloggers, and it got me thinking about just how much I have benefited because of the wonderful blogosphere... so here are 13 things I love about blogging...
1. It has encouraged me to set regular, achievable goals for myself
2. Which in turn has really boosted my motivation and constant eagerness to strive to do and be better
3. Through writing for this blog over the years, I have learnt so much about myself that I wouldn't have otherwise
4. And I have had a creative outlet that I'm passionate about
5. Not only have I improved my writing skills, but I have also had the perfect environment for discovering and nurturing my love for photography...
6. And can I say my Instagram is looking better than ever?
7. In general, my presence and following on social media has rocketed because of my involvement in the blogger community
8. Which brings me to talk about how much I adore being a part of the blogger community; a community centered around supporting and helping each other
9. And because of this community, I have come into contact with some tremendous individuals who have truly helped me on my journey.
10. In return, I have had the pleasure and privilege of encouraging some of my favourite creative influencers, like Jemma from Dorkface!
11. And I couldn't mention the blogging community without noting how much FUN I've had being a part of multiple Twitter chats- especially over the past few months
12. One of the things I love the most about it is that I have my very own unique little space, where I control exactly what goes up and how it is presented
13. Finally, it's been an amazing, exciting journey; getting to see my little corner of the internet grow
Do you blog? What do you love about it?
I love blogging too, its defo also my place to go to when I feel upset or down I just blog about it and I feel so much better after, and everyone is so nice and supportive! x

I started my blog in January and I've been loving the creative side of it. I love writing and I'm definitely growing my skills in that area. I also love photography so I enjoy taking pictures and editing them. My Instagram feed is really evolving and I'm loving that. And I also love connecting with fellow bloggers. I'm in some groups with amazing ladies that really inspire me to do better everyday. Those are my favorite parts of blogging.
ReplyDeleteThat's so encouraging and beautiful, Kasia. I am so pleased to hear that you've been having such a wonderful blogging experience thus far!
DeleteAh I love blogging basically for the same reasons you do! It's amazing how organised even the most unorganised person (read: me) can be when it comes to your passion! Haven't had this before, except back then when I used to dance 6 days / week and had a goal/dream to become professional.
ReplyDeleteFor sure, Jasmin! I completely relate- when you love something, even the laziest of people can become motivated!
DeleteYes, blogging is brilliant. ven though I still have some way to go, I enjoy thinking about how I have improved. Best Wishes !!
ReplyDeleteI love being able to look back and see how far I've come with my blog, also!
DeleteBlogging is just the best! I love that it is so self interactive. WOO!
ReplyDeleteSimply Me
I love blogging too! Mostly I just love to write!!! But I really love interacting with my followers:) Shell
ReplyDeleteLove reading posts like these from other bloggers because it's always interesting to know why others love blogging as much as I do. I agree that the chance to create something all yours and have the space to get creative is SO worth it. :)

I love blogging to create a lasting memory for my kids of all the places we have been
ReplyDeleteI love feeling as though I'm connecting with people (especially as my disability has isolated me so much). I also have been helping other with disabilities (so they've told me) so although my progress and numbers are still slow and low I am going to keep going and hopefully will get some notice from disability companies not only to get to try products for them but also would love to try and change some to make them less clinical and boring and more funky!!!
ReplyDeleteThese are great points to keep a consistent blogging schedule! I've been blogging on and off for the past 17 years, and I would have to agree that consistency is the key. It makes writing easier, your time management skills improve, and coming up with things to write about comes naturally. My biggest problem these days is TIME. I need to find time to blog!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great topic to write about. I love blogging, it really helps center me, as well as helping me achieve my goals.
ReplyDeleteLoved this post, such a good idea to write about why you love blogging, as it really is such an amazing thing! One of the reasons I love having a blog is because I know it's something I can always come back to in the future and always have all these posts I've worked so hard on, even one day for them to be there for my kids to see x

This is a great post! I blog because it allows me to share the lessons I've learned. And it's a great outlet for any built up thoughts. Thanks for sharing your reasons!
ReplyDeleteI've been loving the blogging community lately... especially on Twitter! I love that everyone is so supportive even if my "real friends" don't seem to "get it".
ReplyDeleteI love blogging because I get to connect with awesome people like you!!
ReplyDeleteI've just started my blog and it's always great to read things that inspire me to keep going! Thanks :). I enjoy writing and that's what I love most.
ReplyDeleteI also love blogging. It helps me keep sane throughout my journey inwards :)
ReplyDeleteBlogging is definitely an amazing journey. One of my favorite things has been to discover new blogs that I never knew existed before...and learning many new things! I often enjoy reading blogs that have nothing to do with my niche (food) and learning from them. And yeah, totally agree about the photography piece - my photography has gotten so much better than when I first began :)
ReplyDeleteWOHOOO! I love blogging too. A lot of things you have mention are also some of my reasons why I love blogging! It's amazing how you connect with other people and they are so loving and supportive of what you are trying to do! And just like you, I have learned so much about marketing, pinterest, html, analytics report, etc and it feels great to better myself. Totally agree with you with the goals. BASICALLY GREAT POST LOVE!
ReplyDeleteI loved this list! The positive impact that blogging has for people is incredible, and I'm glad to read that you have had such a positive and growing experience since starting your blog.

ReplyDeleteYes I love this list! There is so many wonderful things about blogging don't you think?! I love the engagement with other bloggers, making 'online' friends is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI really want to get on board with twitter chats, but I'm honestly so unsure on how to parcipatate in them? Like who are you supposed to 'reply' to? And are you just allowed to join or are you invited?
Much love, Caitylis x x

ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with most of these, but number 12 stands out. Its exciting creating your content an choosing how you present it to everyone else
ReplyDeleteI agree with every point! I love blogging for many reasons, it allowed my to express my opinion and find like-minded people to connect with. It enhanced my creativity and writing skills, which are two very important things in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteI love it too! For me it is interesting to see how my audience responds to what I write. I mean there are times I have written something awesome (to me) and it wasn't as much (to them). Through blogging I got to know what my strong points are!
ReplyDeleteah i love this & believe it or not I was having a bit of a down day but you have reassured me to get going again! :)

ReplyDeleteSara, your blogging passion is evident! I'm just starting to blog (about life and encouragement from the Christian faith) and have had a lot of fun reading other blogs and learning from other bloggers as well. Looking forward to continuing to grow in this craft!
ReplyDeleteBlogging can be so therapeutic - I agree with all your reasons.
