What Has Blogging Done For Me Lately?

I have a lot of thoughts. My mind is constantly running and racing. I started interacting with blogs back in 2008. I realized that blogging allowed me to focus my thoughts and interests and discuss them eloquently. Growing up I loved to read and write but never felt comfortable writing in my own voice. When I speak I often speak in tangents. Writing and blogging allows me to better organize my thoughts to relay my message with humor and heart.

One of my life goals is to write a book. Blogging has always felt like the gateway to that. I want to write more personal essays in my free time. I used to write for fun and I lost that somewhere along the way. I subscribe to The New Yorker and I usually just read the personal essays and short fiction sections. I like to immerse myself in something I'd eventually like to do.

I want to commit to keeping this blog as a fresh start on my reintroduction to Blogger and blogging. This feels like a new beginning in my life as I complete college and move forward into 2020.
