Blogging

Why do I blog? What do I get from it?


I started blogging because I was in a very dark place, a place where I didn't know how to handle all the thoughts and feelings anymore.

I needed a place where I could get it all out instead of laying in bed to the early hours of the morning just thinking about things over and over...I needed to get it out of my head.

So as a last resort I started blogging. I have never been one to keep a diary or journal, never did any of the growing up...I wish I'd know how therapeutic it can be.


I haven't made this blog to justify or validate my feelings, my thoughts and feelings are what they are and blog or no blog they are here.
This blog has given me the opportunity to release them in the hope that I will be able to understand them.

This blog isn't for anyone but me, there are no passive aggressive, hidden or cryptic messages...it is my place, my place to work through everything.

Deciding to share my blog with family and friends was a somewhat hard decision.
I wanted to know that I could be as open and honest as possible, would I be able to do that with my nearest and dearest reading it?
I eventually decided that if I were to be open and honest it had to be with everyone, and therefore I started to share the link for this blog with everyone.

Although I haven't done this blog for anyone but myself, but I have been very humbled by messages from people telling me that by sharing our story it is helping them know what they think and feel is ok.
