How Did I Begin Blogging

Hi, beautiful people! Come on over because I've got a blast from my past to share with you all.

Picture this: Back when I was about 13 or 14, I had this crazy idea pop into my head. Everyone I knew was diving into the whole blogging scene, and I couldn't shake the feeling that I was missing out.

It wasn't really peer pressure, more like that classic FOMO, you know? I practically lived online, reading tons of articles and posts. So, I thought, "Why not give this whole blogging thing a shot?"

And just like that, I started my own blog! Seriously, it happened quicker than a bolt of lightning LOL.

I can still remember those falling snow effects, those links that looked like they were straight out of a rainbow, and those blogs that were decked out in the prettiest shades of pink. And who could forget about Blogskin? Man, that was the coolest thing back then!

You know how I got into blogging because I practically lived online, right? Well, the other part of the story involves me scrolling through my friend's lovey-dovey blog posts about her boyfriend. I thought it was a thing, and a little voice in my head said, "Why not try it too?" So, I did. I'm easily intrigued, what can I say?

At first, my blog was pretty 'meh.' It was all about the usual stuff – my day-to-day life (or lack thereof, wink), my not-so-exciting love life (cue dramatic cough), and, well, that's about it. It was like my virtual journal or diary if you will, where I spilled my thoughts and feelings.

One word: CRINGE. 

Fast forward to today, and you'll find me here, pouring out my thoughts, swapping stories, and bonding with folks who share my interests. And hey, if I ever decide to stop blogging, I can't wait to entertain my kids with tales of my blogging escapades.

But that's not all – I absolutely love connecting with awesome people in this vast world. This space right here? It's where I learn, make mistakes, and hang out with some seriously rad bloggers.

So, what does blogging mean to me now?

Blogging's been my thing forever, you know? Sure, some folks might say it's a money pit, and hey, sometimes I'm dropping cash on beauty products just for a review. But hey, it's what fuels me, so no biggie spending some bucks. It's how I express myself, share my thoughts with the world.

I'm not THE blogger yet, not ready to go full-time with it. But man, wouldn't it be awesome to make a living out of this someday? That's the dream!

Anyway, I'm loving where my blog's at right now! Got my own little space online, pulling in crazy views each month (seriously, it's wild!), and connecting with awesome people I didn't even know existed. And trust me, I could go on and on about it all day!

So, I guess that's a wrap for now, but I really hope you enjoyed my story! I can't wait to share more posts down the road, even with all the craziness of college life keeping me busy. This blog means a lot to me, it's not just something I do on the side – it's a passion project! 

What is your blogging story? How did it all start?
