1. You discover yourself.
Before I started blogging I had no idea who I was.I would mimic other people,from their clothes,to their hair,to their body language,to just about anything they did that I didn't do.I would find clothes my friends would approve of,even if I thought they looked just plain weird.I would style my hair in ways I thought they would like,not what I liked.When I started blogging,I found I liked changing things up.For instance,Like taking converse and adding lace.Wearing converse with skirts.Taking my tomboy look and making it just a little girly is about how I would describe my style.I wear athletic shorts with a cute top.I found I didn't have to change myself for other people.
2.You make new friends.
I have made so many new blogger buddies(Abbi,Shelby, Emily,and more!).I have seen(in pictures),and talked(through gmail,comments) to, some of the most beautiful people(Lauren,Abbi, and these are just a few.I don't think I could name them all..).Seeing them and talking to them have helped me come to term with myself about a few things(self confidence,for one).I also love talking to people who don't think it's okay to cuss,dress inappropriately,etc.
3.You become comfortable with yourself.
I used to hate going out in public.I thought I was ugly,I didn't deserve it,etc.I used to try and cover my face while being talked to.No,I wasn't bullied.I just had a very low self-confidence level.Very low.Now I know my friends,family,God,etc. Love me for me,not for my appearances.And my appearances must not be that bad,since my nanny has been telling me someone has been eyeballing me...in church.....can you say embarrassing?
4.It helped me to see the beauty in everything,and everyone.
I used to be very judgmental. In my head,I wouldn't say it out loud.Good thing I'm shy....But I would think Wow, that does not look good on her. Now,instead of thinking about the bad things wrong with people,I look at them a different way.Like,wow her eyes are pretty.She has a clear complection.etc.I do this with almost everyone(some people are just naturally stunning...) and it also boosts my self confidence...somehow :P.
So,thanks for reading,and I hoped you enjoyed my 4 reasons for blogging!

Oh my beautiful girl this post is so wonderful! So much of what you write I can relate to and say that I've been in those situations... Like you, having a blog really helped me to discover who I am and gain a wonderful self confidence in myself. I was the girl who was always trying to copy others and seek out compliments, too but with my blog I can to an acceptance of myself and my style. Also I used to cover my face all the time with my hands because I was ashamed,too!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that both of us have grown and become becautiful, confident women because of our blogs. I know I'm proud of you, and I know that God is so very proud of you as well <3
