Why are you doing the same thing as others?
So the other day I met a friend from high school and seeing
that we haven’t seen each other for a while we both had the courtesy to ask how we
were and one of her question caught me off guard and that was; “Why are you
doing the same thing as others? Why start a blog? Everyone’s doing that now, what
makes you think that you’ll have readers?”
I was speechless.
I knew that she meant it in a nice way but I did not expect her to ask me that kind of question. I didn’t know what to answer back
then so I just said, “I don’t know, because I like it.”
And its true, I do, I like blogging a lot.
I may not write as frequent as other people and our blog may
not be as fancy as others but that doesn’t mean that I should stop doing what I
love to do. I love sharing stories, I love to inspire people with my words, I
love to express myself in a way that people can easily understand and I
love writing; even when I know my level is below most people.
I see a lot of people are starting to get into blogging,
fashion, and honestly, I never once felt demotivated or discouraged because of
that; for, my sole intention for creating a blog is to share - never to
compete. I embarked on this journey in hopes for one day, I could change someone’s
life and that hope is still there. I may not have a lot of “followers” or
“readers” and people may not like the way I write but it doesn’t matter. I like
what I do, and no one can change my feelings towards something that I like (or
someone. Epp).
So friend, this is my answer. I know your intentions were
good so I’m not at all mad at you, in fact, thank you for giving me something
to write about! Haha.
