Why Did I Started Blogging?!

Once again, I put writing at the bottom of my priority list... and once again, I felt like something was missing. I tell myself blogging/writing is a waste of time, no one reads it and I could be tidying the house or reading a book to "expand my mind", even though i've told myself time and time again that none of the above excuses are true. So how do I get back on my writing buzz and keep this blog train chugging? Well, I can't really be sure... but I do know of a good place to start.

What's my "WHY"?

Why did I start this blog in the first place? What was the initial inspiration to put my thoughts on the internet? And why do I want to continue to do so?

Well, I guess it all began when I learnt about our friend google, and being an 9 or 10 year old girl, my DREAM was to be a fashion designer, so I used to google outfits and different fashion ideas. Then I found out you could upload your own stuff, so I used to collect all of my favourite fashion images off the internet and use Windows Movie Maker (cringe) on my parent's Dell dinosaur to create a power point looking video with my favourite music playing in the background (oh how I wish I knew where to find this on the net). Then one thing lead to another and I learnt about blogs, and not only that but how many types of blogs there were. I went through fazes and obsessions with DIY, makeup, health, creating my own content as well, but me being me giving up and deleting the blog and/or YouTube channel after one post because I believed I "wasn't interesting enough" (this happened at least 10 times).

And now here we are... hopefully this time it sticks, because I truly do love writing and creating.

So I guess my why began when i became inspired by other peoples content and creativity, and I wanted the chance to share my own. And that still is true, but now it's not just the creating that I love, but it's the inspiration of each thing I create. I want to be able to find myself a little possy in a subject, idea or situation and shine some light, ask questions and bring something new and thought provoking into it. I also want the chance to document my life, and to share some of the tools I use, and lessons I've learnt in this beautiful journey.

I'm just a regular girl, with a heart that can't contain all it holds - and here is where I want to put some of the love it has to give, in the hope that at least 1 person will receive some of that love. (Still the same weird kid in this picture ;) )

Anyway, enough babble - I hope you enjoyed the brief read. I'd love to know what's something you enjoy, and what's your why behind it? Leave me a comment below :-)

Until next time,
