Why Blog?

 

 What’s up? 


Anything new going on?  I’m sitting at my kitchen table, trying to relax my shoulders as my mom eats salad and Willa walks around eating lettuce.  We just got home from rehearsal and I’m exhausted.  I really wanted to get this post out by tomorrow.  So here I am typing away, but why?

Why do we blog?  It’s a big question I think we should ask ourselves. 

I blog because it’s fun.  I enjoy pushing the publish button.  I love people reading what I wrote.  Connecting with people around the world.  Learning tips and tricks from other bloggers.  Reading other’s posts.   


It’s not always fun, though.  If you are a blogger, you know that.  It’s hard work.  Sometimes I wonder if it makes a difference what one little girl says.  What one girl think, feels.    

Does anyone truly care?  I have friends and family who love me.  It takes me hours to write posts, take photos, edit photos, format, upload photos, edit, comment, improve learn and many other tasks.  I could be having fun, instead of stuck behind a computer.  Why waste my life blogging?


I am strong, I have my own mind.  And even if only three people read my posts, who cares?  That’s three people who have lives, memories, secrets and minds of their own.  We are so unique. 

I love learning about blogging, I truly do.  The problem is, I tend to change my writing to fit the way others blog.  But they are different people, I’m me!  I want to change the world around me, not let it change me.  Because that’s not what I’m here for. 


From now on I promise to post from my heart.  Demolish surface talk, and be me.  I may or may not have fabulous feature images, great fonts, etc.  But I’ll be having fun and showing you me.  That’s what matters. 

Love,

Pip

What Tech Week Looks Like + SURPRISES and Disappointments

Image
Hey Guys! I’m really sorry.  I haven’t posted in quite a while, but I was very busy.  For now, let’s catch up on what been happening in this crazy life of mine, starting with tech week.    August 7 th This was our first day of tech week.  People always complain about it, because the cast doesn’t do much.  Just the crew.  But personally, I enjoy it the most.  Getting to the theatre, finding places for our costumes and filming.  Everything was great.  My favorite part was a little adventure after dinner…  Almost everyone was still eating, but I wanted to finish early and do my makeup in the dressing room.  After that I decided to join everyone again.  Out on stage I met up with two of my castmates.  Let’s call them Caleb and Blake.  I really wanted to go exploring the building, but not alone so the three of us went together.  First, we found some random rooms, ...

I'm Finally Back + Exciting News

Image
Image via Pinterest Hey Everyone! I seem to have taken a brief (but much needed) blogging hiatus.  I was feeling a little discouraged and uninspired.  This time has helped me to refresh my mind while coming up with tons to talk about in upcoming posts.  And now, even when I finally post again, it's just a short one.   But   one filled with an exciting announcement...  I checked my number of followers sometime last week.  It was a measly 21.   This was the beginning of my blog burnout .  I was feeling discouraged.  On Saturday I checked my stats, and I had an amazing 90 followers!  It's amazing that people actually want to read my writing.  People all over the place are going to read these words I write. This afternoon I checked my stats and  literally squealed .  I now have  a gigantic 222 followers!   I don't know where all of this traffic come from, but I'm not complaining! As a ...

Friendship Day + What My Closest Friends Taught Me

Image
Hello! How are you?  I still can’t believe it’s August.  I know I haven't been posting often, but I've been very busy.  Guess what?  Tomorrow is National Friendship Day!  I really wanted to do a post about it, but I'm trying to stick to my blog schedule, so I compromised and posted it today.     My friends have taught me lots of things .  Sometimes I’ve gotten a little bugged with them, and sometimes I’ve tried their patience.  But not matter what, we stick together.  Here are a few things I’ve learned from my three closest friends. Lolly (because who is a better friend than my sister?) Stand up for yourself.   Don’t ever let people walk all over you.  If they don’t care about you, then there is no reason to care about them. You are safe.  God will always protect you.  You are loved, and there is nothing that can change that. It’s okay to cry.  Just don’t lose hope....
