At my age, the coming of the new year doesn't feel all that new. I've seen 23 new years happen and every year I made a new years resolution and every year I failed to keep it.
What is new, however, is this blog. I used to have blog, like last year but it became so false and fake that in the end I packed it in. I mean, it wasn't me. The only person I was kidding with that blog, was myself. I tried, in vain, to redesign it to fit me but it didn't work. It looked naff. So I binned it.
I thought I was done with blogging. I thought it wasn't me. I believed I would be content with reading it rather than writing it. Once again I was wrong.
As one of my 2015 New Years Resolutions, I am going to maintain this blog for the WHOLE YEAR! This is the year I do it! And these are the 5 reasons why...
1. I Have No Willpower!
I literally couldn't stay away. Blogging is just so much fun. Why is it fun? because it makes you do things and it makes you go places. In order to come up with interesting content, you actually have to make an effort. Having a blog is a great excuse to get out there and see all that you can see.
2. All the Cool Kids do it
I read a lot of blogs, and I follow a lot of other people. And they're so cool! I admire them. I admire their drive and their commitment and I can be and do even something remotely a teeny tiny bit similar than I think I will. Am I admitting to jumping on the bandwagon? Yes I am.
3. I have a lot of thoughts
I think things. I think a lot of things. I'll hear something on the radio and have a complete rant about it until I notice, that the only living thing listening to me, is my horse...and he only wants hay. There are events that have happened and comments that have been said that have really annoyed me and I just want to add my thoughts. I want to express those thoughts and feelings, to the internet in a way that isn't twitter. Where I can use a whole post to fully express myself.
4. Never Give Up & Never Give In
I don't like giving up. I don't like giving in. Failure isn't an option, not for me. So when I packed the old blog in, I felt awful. Sure it was fake and not a bit about me and was full of what felt like bullsh*t, it was still something. I don't like failure. It doesn't suit me. Starting this new blog was largely unavoidable, it was going to happen at some point.
5. Why the Hell Not?!
There were no reasons not to try again, not to start anew. I don't think I have anything to lose. I want to do this for me. I'm going to be who I am and that can only be a good thing. I mean, I'm unemployed so I won't be fired over it. I don't have a social life so it won't distract me from a significant other and my friends all live miles away anyway.So all systems are go for this new blog and for 2015!
If you've just started a blog or are thinking about it, then we can do this together! Or if you've been blogging for ages and have any tips then let me know. Leave a comment below and let's get this party started! #blog2015
