The truth about writing a blog

Nowadays people spend a huge amount of their time scrolling through the Instagram, Facebook, chatting with people or watching YouTube videos. Some people share every detail of their life on social media. With that enormous amount of possibilities, writing a blog isn't as popular as it was in the past. However, I think it's still worth it and today I want to tell you why.

 You can improve your writing skills

The first and most obvious thing is that your writing skills will get better. Having your own blog is connected with typing all the time. You have to choose words carefully and still increase your vocabulary. 

You learn new things 

   First of all, you read other people's websites and blogs and find out lots of new information. Sometimes you can even get new skills thanks to an article about them. You get to know different people, often from other regions of the world. Secondly, you can always learn or notice something about yourself while writing

You can develop a new hobby

Writing is an amazing thing and maybe you haven't thought about it like that before. Creating your own website can wake a new passion for many things. Before I set this blog up I had been writing articles on another one. At that time I didn't really like photography but I was inspired by different people, whose websites I was reading, and finally bought my first camera. Now, I think that by taking photos, you can express your feelings and it is one of my hobbies. 

 
You become more creative 

 Writing your own blog has a lot to do with creativity. At first, you must design your own website and give it a personal character. Then you should come up with the topics of your articles and finally, make an effort to write them down. Sometimes it's not an easy task and you have to be imaginative to create something.

   You can express your feelings or opinions

Sometimes you just want to share something with people. One day, you write about something that you're proud of, another about your view of a particular subject. What is even better, people can react and talk with you about their opinion about it. 

  You help people
 Maybe the thing that you write can help or affect someone. Isn't it a wonderful feeling when you make another person's day better and happier? People read blogs to find out new things or sometimes they do it for fun. The awareness that someone else will read your posts is really nice and motivating.


You can keep your memories here 

For some people, their own blog is like a diary. I personally don't use mine that way, but I do add something from my life here, from time to time. Having all of your good memories in one place is amazing because you can always come back to these moments.

 That's it for today. I know that sometimes you put an effort to create a nice and helpful post and you expect more people to read it but I still think that writing your own blog is a good way to express yourself.
