So I have been blogging for a few
months now and by that I mean actually putting effort into
my blog as I have had a registered blog for a year now.
It has been an incredible journey
so far, one that I have put many hours of love and care into, this blog has
become an extension of my life a project child if you will, and this is why is
has been so disheartening to see the amount of ugliness going around in the SA
Blogging world lately.
When I started blogging I started
with the mind of having a platform and a safe space to air my views, vents and overall
updates on my life for me to look back on one day, this has remained however my
blog has become so much more for me, not only do I enjoy writing… immensely so,
but if this platform had allowed me to reach even one person out there, to give
them some much needed information or a hand up on a down day it would have made
my day, so when I started seeing the numbers of views going up and I started
receiving inbox messages and comments on social media platforms, well I cannot
explain to the immense joy and pride it has brought to my life.
I love reading other peoples
blogs (even those of people I have butt heads with, because they are great
writers) and I admit I get a tad bit, ok a large bit envious when I look at
their blog designs and read their pieces… awe inspiring doesn’t even begin to
describe it, there are so many bloggers with so much to offer, and when I read
them it’s always clear when a person is passionate about what they are doing
and whether they actually enjoy what they are doing, that is what I look for
and I have accumulated quite a list of favourite local bloggers, whose pieces I
thoroughly look forward to especially at the end of a long day.
I may not be the best writer, and
my life may not be the most interesting to others, but I am going to carry on
doing it anyway because I enjoy it and that was the plan, not to make money or
receive sponsorships although working with other people is incredible, but just
being able to meet the amount of new people I have has been amazing in itself
everything else is just a bonus!
I have done things and voiced my opinions
on matters I never thought I would, I have designed and put together codes on
my own and even gotten in front of and learnt to navigate a proper camera (not
a digital handheld one) camera and edit footage (albeit badly) which I never in my life thought I would be able
to do; but I did and it’s all thanks to this blog and the inspiration I have
found along the way.
Thank you to the bloggers who
inspire me every day, you will probably never realise how many people you
reach.
