I really like writing, I always have. When I was 11 years old my parents gave me my first diary and wrote in it every day. I liked it so much that I started buying large notebooks to write in and did that for years until I was introduced to the internet.
While I like others to read what I write, I really like reading what others have to say. I like meeting new people and getting to know them through their blogs posts. I don't get out much and don't see many people besides my family face to face but I have quite a few friends online that I've never talked to other than through the computer.
I like reading how other people think, feel and see how creative they are. Reading other people's lives through their blogs and social media keeps me connected in a way that I didn't think would be possible for someone who doesn't do much interacting face to face.
I've found many people have some of the same experiences, beliefs, and stories that I have. We are not all alone, we are right next to one another even if it's through the other side of a computer monitor. I've met people from all over the world and it's been fascinating to see that no matter where we are from, we are so similar and have so much to talk about.
I like blogging because it's kept me from sitting in my apartment all alone in my own little bubble. I like sharing my thoughts on different subjects and reading others comments even if they don't agree with me. I think being able to talk about a subject we might not agree on in a civil manner is also great.
I truly do appreciate all my blogging friends and appreciate all the comments you have left for me, without you there would be no reason to keep doing this.
