The Journey
I’ve figured it out.
I’ve figured out what it is about blogging that makes it so intriguing. What makes it so frustrating. What makes it so challenging.
It’s like photography in many ways. Actually, come to think of it, it’s a lot like life. Always aspiring. Always dreaming. Always falling short of your dreams. And then getting back up and trying again.
I’ve figured it out. Blogging is a journey. That’s been my mistake all along. Believing that one day I would “make it” as a blogger, and get all the success and fame that comes along with it. That I would reach the finish line, and be called a winner. I looked and drooled over the stats. I tried copying other’s dreams. Little did I know. You can never reach the end of blogging. You can never reach the finish line, and call yourself a winner. Much like life, you just keep going. And learning. And failing. And trying again.
And that’s my problem with blogging. I can’t setup a finish line in my mind that I am running towards. No. Instead, I am running head-on into the unknown. Not knowing where this journey will lead me. Not knowing where this journey will end.
For the longest time, I thought blogging was about you. That’s what everyone told me. “Blogging is a conversation”. Not my blog. My blog is a place where I share my thoughts. Where I write what I want to write. Not for you. For me.
I may have fallen, but I’m getting back up. I’m continuing the Journey.
