Why I Started Blogging?


Today, I thought I'd make this post to talk about why I started blogging.

To be honest I don't have a clear answer as to why I started blogging. I have gone back and forth with blogging before but when I was seventeen years old, I decided to start a blog back in May 2014. The main reason I started blogging was because I was bored and at the time YouTubers were at their prime but I was to shy to make a YouTube channel. Although blogging appealed to me because I didn't have to show my face. I can hide behind my blog and there's only a few photos of me. The main thing about blogging is ultimately the writing and I love being able to write blog posts.

In the beginning I didn't really stick to my blog because at the time I was going through my A Levels and dealing with teenage issues. I only made 15 posts in 2014 but in 2015 was when I decided to take my blog more seriously. It was like my own personal online journal that I could write and other people could read. I didn't care about how many page views  or if I had any followers. I just wanted to write about things I love.

I also think another reason why I started blogging was reading Zoella's blog because at the time she was one of the most popular YouTubers and she had also written her first novel which was Girl Online. It was essentially about a girl and her blog which kind of made me want to blog more.

Now though, almost blogging for six years now I can honestly say I still love doing it. It makes me happy to continue to make blog posts and be creative. I plan to keep blogging for a long time.

Anyway, that is why I started blogging. I hope you enjoyed this little insight and maybe it inspired you to blog. I would love to view some of your blogs.

I'll be back again soon with another blog post.

See you then.

My Future Plans

Image
Planning for the future is probably one of the most scariest things. Especially when you have an end goal but have no idea how to achieve that goal. Of course many things can go wrong and you're kind of terrified to take that risk. That's how I'm feeling right now. I have the whole Christmas and New Year off which is essentially going to be spent planning what I'm going to do next. I want to move out of my mum's house by February. I want to get a job or an internship which is relevant to my degree. As you can probably tell, these are some major changes for me and I'm terrified but also kind of excited. I'm itching to start planning and I have spent several hours looking at flats to rents these past few months. Soon though it's all going to be real. I know it's going to be scary and I probably have no idea what I'm doing but at the same time, I can't wait for it all to happen. Life is about taking chances after all and sooner or later I

30 Things To Do Before I'm 30

Image
I thought I would do one of those posts where I talk about things I want to do in the future and why not do a 30 things I want do before I'm 30 so I have about nine years to achieve these thirty goals for myself. It's also something I could look back on when I am thirty years old to see if I actually have achieved any of these things. Hopefully I will but we'll have to wait and see in nine years time. 1. Get my degree Now this is probably an obvious one as I'm in my third year of university but honestly after two years of doing university it would be nice if next year I could have a degree. I also thought I'd start this list with something I could definitely achieve (fingers crossed) before I'm thirty years old. 2. Visit Harry Potter Studio Tour/Harry Potter World/Both As I am a massive Harry Potter fan I would actually like to visit the studio tours in London or visit Harry Potter world in Walt Disney World because they look absolutely amazing and wo

Chapter Two

The end of the longest month of the year to enter the shortest month of the year, except it's a leap year so instead of twenty eight days, we have twenty nine days. How exciting.  I've had an interesting first month of the year. I booked a once in a lifetime trip to Las Vegas and I'm also planning on booking a holiday to Ireland which is very exciting as I've never been to Ireland before. I think this year is going to be full of adventures so I'm looking forward to what this year will bring. It's getting me motivated to start living a healthier lifestyle though. Eating less and moving more.  I'm also still saving up on top of all the holidays, I hope to buy a car this year. I'm not sure what I'm planning on doing this February. I know there's Valentine's Day which as a single person is a day I detest, although I'm going to make plans and celebrate my single hood. Then of course there's pancake day which is always a treat. There's
