Why Am I Blogging?

Okay so I'm pretty new to this whole blogging thing. I've only published 2 posts so far and both, let's be realistic here, are really not the best. But I'm still new to this, and I'm trying. I have so many posts lying in my drafts because I keep having, what I like to think are good, ideas but then can never find the courage to post, or can never quite finish them or figure out what they're missing to deem postable. 

But why am I doing this?

It probably seems weird to people that someone who has no background in English (I sat it for standard grade but decided to opt out of it for higher as it seemed far too daunting) would want to start a blog. For me, this blog isn't about me thinking that I'm incredible and that everyone needs to know my opinion because I'm so amazing and I'm always right (in reality I'm so far from that, especially since this post is being written at 4.35pm, I only woke up 3 hours ago, and I can't even muster the energy to dry my hair from after my shower, or even go to the toilet and pee). For me, I decided to start this blog because;

1) I thought it would be fun, which it definitely is. Even though I know that hardly anyone reads what I post, and the vast majority of what I write just ends up sitting in drafts, I really enjoy just taking time and writing. It seems kind of silly to class this as "me time" but I honestly feel content when I'm sitting in front of my computer writing about what seems important to me.

and 2) As I said in my introduction, I class myself as a pretty upbeat and positive person. Sure, I have my days where it feels like the whole world is out to get me and all I want to do it curl up in bed with a tub of Ben & Jerry's Karamel Sutra and pretend the outside world doesn't exist, what girl doesn't?! But on the whole, am I good at brushing bad things off, and embracing the good I see in the world. (I constantly have arguments with my boyfriend about how fast we should walk to go places. He sees it as we're walking to get somewhere, and must walk as fast as physically possible to get there in the shortest amount of time. I see it as a chance to get some fresh air, to relax, and to enjoy our surroundings and take our time.) I just feel like there is so much negativity out in the world and especially on the internet, that it never hurts to create a little extra positivity for anyone who might happen to stumble across my blog.

I know that that's only two reasons, and I'll probably discover a million more as I continue this blog, no matter whether I get more and more people reading it, or if it stays as a small project for myself and only a select few small people who happen to chance a click on one of my posts.

But for now lovelies, I'll stop boring you with my ramblings, 

Love, Frey x
