I blog so that I can make friends around the world, while sharing my interests, beliefs and whatever I'm interested in at the moment. ^_^ I also like promoting other bloggers, indie artists, etc.

I blog so that I can share my life with friends and family. It gives me a creative outlet. I am also interested in meeting new friends in the blogging community.

I blog to learn more about myself.  Too often life happens to us. 

 

I prefer to make life happen.  But I can only do that if I take the time to look at my surroundings, analyze, talk about, and learn from them.  Sometimes having someone to listen isn't always available, so talking to everyone and no one at all can be very theraputic for me.

I'm an expat so I started blogging to let family and friends know what I was getting up to.  I keep blogging because it's fun, and I connect with people around the world.  I hope people who are moving to London can also use it as a resource to find out a bit more of what life is like there.

i blog as an outlet...and to hopefully meet new blogger ppl. I know that a lot of my friends dont go through the things that i do and i have found some ppl via my blog who have given me some great advice that my close friends have not been able to give me.

One of the reasons I started blogging was because I was so inspired by other blogs I was reading.  Another was because I needed a place to release, to document, and to figure out who I am without feeling silly.  It grew into a place where I write about life, but more about lessons I'm learning or need to learn.  I have enjoyed writing in it.

 

I wish it was a way for me to make friends with people from around the world, but it's still pretty small.  And I'm not sure how to go about that I guess.  But maybe soon.

I blog because I like to write. For me, writing is how I connect with the world around me, especially with God.  So to be able to write and connect with Him then share those revelations with others is wonderful!

I blog because it holds me accountable.  When I talk about something on my blog, whether it's a dream or a goal or an aspiration, I have put it out there and there's an expectation to keep to my word.  It also keeps me accountable in curating better, more diverse knowledge.  I am a personal finance/fashion blogger hybrid and so I have to keep pushing the envelope and reading, learning and exploring in order to provide better and more up-to-date content.

 

I blog because it feels darn good.  If you're expecting fame you probably will be disappointed (as so many of the 20k people who start each day discover) as there is so much chatter out there, so just have your own voice and you will be heard in the crowd by who needs to hear it (even if it's just a few people!)

I blog to spill thoughts and feelings that I don't feel comfortable talking about with people in my life. I think it will help me process things and it will be good not to hold things in. Also, to hopefully connect with other people with the same lifestyle (childless 20 something waiting until 30s to have kids, newlywed, ...). I hope will improve my writing skills, but I'm not holding my breath. I feel like I've been using my blog as a way to kind of bookmark things I like.

I did a whole blog post about this...it's an emotional and creative outlet primarily.
