  • The Best Thing about Being a Blogger (Guest Post)

    I participated in the Blog Swap at 20-Something Bloggers, and my guest for this post is Angela from Craving Cupcakes. My entry on this topic is posted on her site: check it out. Say hi to Angela. Also, let me put in a word for 20sb.net, a site for 20-something bloggers no matter what platform they use. There are over 12,000 members, check it out!

    I was first introduced to blogging back in 2004. I started off on Live Journal, and made a few friends. In fact, my closest blogging friend and I met on LJ! Eventually, my posts started fizzling out. I still hadn’t discovered exactly who I was, so I was tiring of post the same nonsense every day. I stopped blogging for a few months, but started missing it terribly. What exactly was I missing though? I thought that I had grown tired of blogging, yet here I was contemplating getting back into it.

    I started to discover blogs outside the world of LJ. Many of these blogs I’d be checking daily, savoring each and every word that was written. And then I started to realize exactly what I missed about blogging. I missed the sense of community. I missed the friendships. I missed the people who were so much like me, I’d swear we were related. My mind was made up, and within a couple of weeks, I had signed myself up for a blogger account. Thanks to reading other blogs, I had discovered 20 Something Bloggers, and signed up right away. Best decision I’ve made, because now I get to be a part of amazing things, like Love Harder.

    I’ve made a few more friends, and they’re all seriously amazing. If I need a recommendation for something (music, books, recipes, place to travel and visit), they’re there for me. When I let on that problems in my life kept piling up and I was growing weary, two of my blogs friends emailed me to check on me and make sure I was ok. These friends encourage me to grow and learn every day. I also love how blogging lets me discover who I am; it lets me work through my problems.

    I really couldn’t name just one thing that’s best about blogging, because there’s just too much to love. 

    Thanks for the guest post, Angela!
