Why not me?






And here it is. My first ever blog post. I've been meaning to start a blog well over a year ago now, but I always found reasons not to (sounds familiar?): I'm not a good writer. There are even times when I hate writing. I'm not a very interesting person. There are so many blogs out there that are amazing / interesting / popular / beautiful etc. who is going to read mine? I have no idea how to blog. I'm not good at taking photographs. I don't know how to design my blog. Should I write in English or Polish? (I'm bilingual). Maybe both?

And so, over time, I gathered quite a collection of reasons NOT to start a blog and was forever putting it off. Until I found this article on Pinterest and this blog post. They made me realise that if I want to have a blog, no one is going to start it for me, and I am the only person who can make it happen. If I don't do it, I will regret it for the rest of my life. And also: Why not me? Why not me to have a blog? Why not me to start writing about the things that I like, dislike, love, things that made me think or made me happy.. Why not me?

I am not going to get ahead of myself and worry if I'll have enough topics to write about, if people like my content. I am not going to concentrate on the things that I don't know and concentrate on learning them (I have already learnt how to embed a clickable link, yay). I am going to concentrate on the fact that I finally did it, I have started my own blog. Because: Why not me?

    1. Thank you j.beaute. I found it terrifying at first but I'm so glad that I did it. There's still a lot of learning to do, but I'm excited.
