WHY BLOG?

I am sure there are quite a few people who think to themselves "who cares? who cares what you did today? who cares what your opinion on the subject is?" everytime I submit a new post. I'm sure there are people who read my blog and notice that there aren't many people commenting on the posts (or any at this point, although I do see that quite a bit of you are reading when I post, so don't be afraid to comment!) and wonder "what's the point?".

Well, quite bluntly, but not at all with any rude intention, it's not about you. While knowing that people read or can get anything at all from what I say is encouraging, blogging is for me. When I was younger, I was one of those girls you'd see writing away in her notebook. I kept a journal. Filled it with whatever teenage angst was weighing on my mind. You see, I've always had a fascination with documenting life. With knowing that I could look back one day, when my mind can no longer remember, and recall a little of who I was at a given time. Recall what was going on in the world, what was going on in my life, how I felt. Maybe with a future child or grandchild. Even now, I enjoy going back and reading old journals or even old Facebook statuses from over the years. It reminds me of things I had forgotten and shows me how much I have changed (or not changed).
