Why do I love Blogging?

Well first off, I had no idea I would end up loving Blogging. I thought I would try it, and like many things before, I would be bored within a few tries and get nowhere, so I'd just forget about it. But instead, I began finding many people who I had a lot in common with. A LOT of fellow Mormons and that wasn't even on purpose, that just strangely happened, but is very nice to have that in common. And so I fell in love.

Why I love blogging is pretty easy. I can be myself, express myself, and not worry (well not too much) that I will make a fool of myself. I am free to BE me in my little blog. I threw caution to the wind and decided to be brutally honest about myself, the problems I face, and I have gotten advice and support and friendship, what is not to love? I finally found a medium, where it is okay to be me, because I know I am not alone, that other people feel the same ways I have or do, and no one is judging. I like that.

I like being able to pour out my feelings, whether good or bad, and it not only gives me a sense of release, expressing those feelings, but when someone leaves a sweet comment, it warms my heart and sometimes starts the healing of an open wound. I have often felt like when I speak no one listens, but for some reason, HERE, when I write, people do hear me, they don't brush aside my remarks, they read them and respond. Blogging has been helpful to me. Almost like a form of therapy, because I am not hiding in my shell, which I am so good at, I am standing outside my shell, shouting my feelings for the whole world to see and read. And the fact that I have found some really wonderful people, who I consider friends, and who consider ME a friend, it is just amazing. That is why I love blogging, it has helped me and given me the precious gift of friends.

I have SO many people who deserve this award, but to put them ALL down, and link to them would take me hours, so I will list 6. And I invite anyone who reads this to go out and give this award to someone who deserves it.
