Pieces of Your Life, from a Different Angle

Introduction

I’m a daily blogger, which means I blog about my life every single day. My posts are short and simple, but they add up over time. I use blogging as a way to document my life — and not just the big stuff. My posts are often mundane; it’s usually a little thing or two from my day that stood out to me. Not everything is blog-worthy, but when something is, I want to write about it. This approach has worked well for me so far: I started blogging in October 2016, and as of today (July 2019), I have published more than 300 blog posts in less than 3 years! But it hasn’t always been easy: Sometimes I struggle with topics or don’t have time to write at all. Sometimes I get writers block or feel like no one will ever read my words…but then something happens that makes me sit down at the computer and start typing again!

It is interesting that you’re blogging on a daily basis.

In my opinion, blogging on a daily basis is a bad idea.

However, there are some people who can benefit from this practice and others who should avoid it at all costs (like myself).

My videoblogging routine is much more sporadic.

It’s not that my videoblogging routine is any less consistent. I don’t blog every day, and I don’t blog on the same topic every day. Nor do I talk about the same things in the same way every day—or at least, not always as part of my videoblogging routine. And while there are some days when you might find me doing both vlogging and blogging, those days are few and far between.

But these differences shouldn’t be seen as shortcomings or flaws; rather, they’re what make your life unique! We all approach our daily lives differently—and that’s a good thing! You should embrace how you live your life and the experiences it brings you rather than feeling pressured to conform to someone else’s idea of what normalcy looks like (even if it seems like everyone else is).

I have been thinking of starting my own blog for a while now but have been turned off because I have internalized the belief that any blog I attempt will not be as good or as interesting as other people’s blogs.

I have been thinking of starting my own blog for a while now but have been turned off because I have internalized the belief that any blog I attempt will not be as good or as interesting as other people’s blogs. It took me quite awhile to realize that this was a limiting belief and once I realized it, it took even longer for me to actually start writing on my own blog. It has been almost four months since I started writing for myself and even though it is still very new and there are many times when I feel like giving up, the more time passes the more passionate I become about blogging.

What has made blogging so rewarding is that it has helped me discover some things about myself in a way nothing else had before:

  • You will find your voice: The first thing you need to do is find your voice and be comfortable with what you want others (or just yourself) see when they visit your site or read through your posts! This may take time but eventually if you keep at it then everything will fall into place!
  • You can do anything: Okay so maybe not anything but whatever dreams/goals etc., we set ourselves up for success by believing in ourselves enough that everything else falls into place afterwords which leads us back around full circle where we started with believing in ourselves again because now we know how achievable our dreams really are despite any fears or doubts along the way!

How are those blog post ideas coming?

It’s the question that writers and editors are asked every day. The short answer is: it depends on how you see blogging in your life.

In my case, I’ve been writing for as long as I can remember. Even when I was just a kid, there was something about having a pen and paper in my hands that helped me organize my thoughts better than anything else could at the time. As soon as I could read and write, stories started forming around me—in my head sometimes; on paper other times—and now here we are decades later with thousands of words written down for all to see on this blog post alone! It’s also worth noting that most of those words were never meant to be read by anyone but me (and maybe someone else who happened upon them). So while it’s true some bloggers have a natural gift for putting their thoughts into words, even if they’re not experts at doing so yet—especially when they first start out—they don’t have to feel like they’re wasting their time because there’s always room for improvement!

The last thing you want to do is spend time on a topic only to find out it doesn’t quite fit in with your blog’s overall message and vision.

But as you know, writing is a passion of mine. I love putting my thoughts and feelings into words so that they can be shared with others. It’s not just about having an audience; it’s about knowing that there are people out there who relate to what I’m writing about, who understand what I’m saying and why I’m saying it. They may even learn something new from me! Or they might even just enjoy reading what I have written—which makes me happy too!

So how do we get started? The first step would be figuring out which topics we enjoy writing about the most and then narrowing down those options based on our skill level: Do we have enough knowledge or experience? Do we have any unusual perspectives? What makes us unique?

I think my biggest obstacle has been trying to come up with a topic to write about, something meaningful yet witty, smart but not pretentious, interesting enough to keep my readers coming back for more.

What I have learned is that you need to write about something you are passionate about. Something you know well; so well that it becomes obvious when it is missing from your life or not functioning at its peak potential. You should also be able to write about this subject matter in a way that is relatable and easy for others who may not grasp the same level of expertise as yourself…and ultimately if this piece of writing touches one person deeply enough then you can consider yourself successful!

There is a difference between a blog and vlog (video-blog) after all!

I have always been interested in vlogging, but I was never sure if it was something that I would enjoy or be good at. The thought of doing a video blog every day seemed daunting. I could never figure out what to say and how to say it, so I gave up on the idea of ever creating one.

However, as time went on and we continued our daily lives with poron, my curiosity grew stronger. Finally, after months of contemplating this subject matter and its implementation into my life (or lack thereof), I decided to give it another go!

I wanted to share some tips for anyone else who may be considering making their own video blogs:

  • It’s okay if you’re not funny in writing; being a writer has nothing do with being funny or entertaining others through text alone; however, if you are engaging visually via video then there is no doubt that your chances of becoming an entertaining person increase exponentially!

You’ll find your voice.

You may be wondering if you are a poron. You have all the symptoms and no one else does, so it could be that this is just an ailment specific to you. But perhaps you are not alone! We have all been there, wondering if we have something that others don’t have. When I was younger and first noticed my poron, I remember thinking “No one else has these little white things growing on their skin.” It was hard to accept myself as being different than everyone else around me—but I did so anyway.

In the end, finding your voice will lead to greater self-acceptance of what makes you unique—and once again: that’s not always something easy or positive or fun! It can be scary becoming comfortable in your own skin (or fur) but once it happens—well then it feels great!

And never stop working toward your goals!

You may be thinking, “How can I possibly live my life without fear?” Well, I don’t believe that you should. Fear is a natural part of the human condition and it serves an important role in our lives. Without it, we would be reckless and take unnecessary risks. However, there are ways to channel your fears into positive actions instead of negative ones:

  • Focus on the positive aspects of a situation or experience (e.g., this job interview has gone well so far).
  • Look at what could go right instead of focusing on everything that could go wrong (e.g., if I don’t get this job interview today then I can apply somewhere else next week).
  • Practice acceptance by acknowledging that sometimes things will happen beyond your control (e.g., if they decide not to hire me then there’s nothing I can do about it).

Conclusion

And there you have it! A few ideas on how you can get into the blogging game. Whether or not you’re ready to start your own blog, I hope these tips will help you with any writing project that is coming up. Happy blogging, everyone!
