Why do you blog?

Such an odd question. To me, that is. All these 4 years I have been blogging and posting just because I love it so much. But if anyone would ask me, why.. I can’t really think of an immediate answer.

When I first found out that blogging exists, I was .. 14. It’s quite amazing how fast time goes by… 2020. The year it all started for almost everyone. During the pandemic, I decided to make the most out of my writing abilities (those that I believe can improve day by day).

Ever since I remember myself, I cannot think of a time where I was doing nothing at all and enjoying it. For some reason, I always like to occupy myself with anything in order to keep me entertained. That is why, apart from studying, that I particularly enjoy doing, I wanted to find myself several hobbies that bring me joy.

This blogging hobby of mine, started off as a way to write whatever comes on my mind. Back then, trust me people. I didn’t know how to use social media. I was just getting started and I did a lot of mistakes. When I look back though, I think of them as funny moments. Baby steps I had to take in order to be where I am.

Even though these 4 years haven’t been as consistent as I wished them to be, I can finally say that I know what I am doing is a thing I will not quit. As I’ve explained to a question I was answering (you can find this on About us page) blogging to me is not dead. Everything is digital, and maybe yes, videos and Instagram posts have more engagement than little meaningful articles, but in the end, we are free to do what makes us happy.

So, I chose that blogging brings me that happiness that I cannot find elsewhere. I really hope that my job makes other people happy too. In this society, being yourself is damn hard, and I know it firsthand. But it’s the reason I’m still here. Even though, many people may think what I post is nonsense or completely useless, other people embrace it or try their best to prove to themselves they deserve to be alive.

Strangely, blogging is like studying to me now. And that might be odd because you will ask me.. there’s no way you like to study.. do you? Yes, people. I am a girl who actually loves studying. All that, because I have a purpose. I like to be hard working and maybe even challenge myself sometimes. Studying is one of the few things that bring me joy, along with writing articles. Although I do not know the very reason behind it, I try to justify these actions of mine with the idea that all of us are unique. Everyone expresses themselves differently, and since I am not as skilled as a professional dancer, singer or artist, I decided to do what I’m best at, in my opinion.

Allowing yourself to be, you (that probably sounds odd haha), is maybe one of the most beautiful things in the whole universe. I do not study for the grades nor do I write for the numbers. These are just calculations that lead to a result. They help people figure out the success of what they are doing. I study because I love to learn. I also write, because I find fullness in writing articles, expressing my thoughts and opinion out loud.

I hope that with this post I can explain myself, to why, this site, Diamond Blog is built this very way. I will remind everyone. This very site, is one made from love and will to move forward. Even if the sky is grey, there will always be a small fragment of light to help us move on. In this blog, we learn to move forward. To embrace difficulties and become stronger. It’s not a place for judgement or anything such.

From me, to you, this is our own safe space. Diamond Blog.
