(1) Blogging is a waste of time...I figured the time one spends blogging they could be doing something more productive (reading a good book, enjoying a challenging jigsaw puzzle, exercising, etc.)
(2) Blogging is a way to hide one's intermost thoughts from others...I have always found something wrong with private posts, especially when they are used to keep secrets from close friends and significant others.
(3) Blogging is a female thing...I do not know why I have this preconceived notion in my mind, but I have always seen blogging as more of a female thing!
(4) Blogging is just a cry for attention from others...I realize that this sounds harsh, but I truly felt this way at one point in time. It seemed inherently selfish and vain to me to post all about your life and thoughts in a blog.
These perspectives have changed over time though as I have grown to understand the meaning of blogging. With that said, my reasons for finally starting a blog are as follows:
(1) While blogging can be a cry for attention for some, it is not for everyone. You can choose to blog about whatever you want. I find some blogs quite fascinating because an individual takes the time to be creative with it! I hope to make my blog a creative perspective of my journey through life as I grow in my Catholic faith, as a young attorney, and my relationship with the amazing Kati Lynn.
(2) Blogging does not have to be just a female thing, it can be a male thing too, it just depends on what direction you choose to take your blog!
(3) Blogging can be a creative exercise for the mind (I have to say, I have spent the last two hours just creating my blog and coming up with what I wanted to make my first post about!).
(4) While blogging can be used to hide one's intermost thoughts from others, not everyone does that. This notion of mine was influenced by a bad past experience in which I had many a feelings hidden from me before having my heart broken. I found it unfair and selfish and immediately correlated any form of journaling / blogging with that experience. I have since concluded that not all individuals choose to blog / journal in this fashion.
(5) It fascinates me to think that I can one day look back on my blog and see how I have grown in life and in my faith! This for me is the main reason I have the desire to start a blog.
With that said, this is officially the start of my blog! I am excited to see my life unfold in words, pictures, and videos over the coming months. And I feel a blog post is not complete without a picture, so here is one of my beautiful girlfriend and I.
Until next time!
