I don’t know, I have some pure reasons but also some selfish reasons. In the words of Jay Shetty, my monk mind is at work but so is my monkey mind.
I do write for me, yet I love the attention.
As I’ve said before, when I started this blog in January of 2024, I really had no idea what blogging was all about. And the very odd time when I tell people I have a blog, they get excited and think it’s one of THOSE blogs. Then I reassure them they aren’t missing much and it’s actually super boring.
The one thing I never expected from this blog was the community. You guys are my friends. I really feel that way. I know some of you better than others, either way I value the friendships. I love that I have writing in common with so many people. In my real life, I’ve really only known three other people who also write.
I remember the first couple of times I posted something, I couldn’t believe three or four people actually read it! Was such a little thrill.
Now I’m hoping to very soon hit one thousand subscribers and that blows my mind.
I love you guys.
Oh, so back to the question, I used to write a bit for our local newspaper and when it shut down I needed something to replace it. An outlet for writing.
Here we are.
