How blogging helps me in real life

Hey readers,

How are you guys doing? I hope you are having an awesome day! Before I begin, I just wanted to say thank you to each of you who gave me a suggestion on the personal touch (my lastest post) and I am so glad you guys are good with "hey readers". I have decided to stick with that :D

*Moving on*

So, as you guys know, I love blogging so much and I know I say that a lot but I really do. Well, today is not about how much I love it but how much blogging helps me in real life.

I say real life because blogging is a part of me that is secretive. No one really knows that I blog and so when I blog, I feel like I am in a different world far away from my reality.

1- Get away from the hate
When I say hate, I don't mean it personally but generally. Just by reading or watching the news you can see all the hate that there in this world. People killing people, racism, and what not. So, getting away from all the negativity and writing on my blog can be really helpful. The blogging community is so kind and awesome. A nice comment, a like on my post or anyone who reads my posts can simply make my day :)

2- Learning
I can't tell you how many things I learned from blogging. Not only about blogging but from other bloggers too. I used to only comment on blogs I could relate to. Now, I learn new things everyday by reading things that aren't familiar to me so that I can learn it. For example, I would never check out technology bloggers because I don't know much about it but now I do check them out and do learn how things work and know the latest phones or gadgets they have.

I also know bloggers who writes beautiful poems. Those bloggers really inspired me into writing poems for a poetry class I had to take when my mind was blank. Trust me, having those amazing bloggers who write poetry and stories really helped me passing that poetry class.

3- On the same boat
When you are in your own little world, you think that you are the only one who feels in some way. Whatever you feel like, you might think that no one else feels the same. But when you are out there reading other blogs, you realize you are not alone. You can read other blog posts and relate to other people's situations. After reading, you know that you are not alone. This can be such a relief.

4- Mentally
Blogging really helps me mentally. Whenever you are writing a post, you have something in mind. You are thinking about that something and you might want to share it. How many posts do you have on your blog that is either something personal to you or some random or important thoughts put into words? Well, imagine not having to write them down on a paper or on a blog. You are going to have a breakdown. Sometimes, it is important to clear things up. Keeping everything in mind is just another way to give self stress. So, you need to let it all out. That is why, writing down your thoughts or sharing them with someone is needed. This is how blogging helps my mental health. I write my thoughts on this blog and share them with you guys. Trust me, it feels really good.

5- Productive
Are you a lazy person? Do you feel like you are being useless? I don't know about you but I feel this way sometimes and that is not a good feeling. But, when I am blogging, I feel useful. I feel like I have an identity. I can proudly say that I am a blogger (well, I say it to myself, in my mind because a little bit of self-encouragement can't hurt right?!). When you blog, you have to write new posts, do some promotion for your posts and interact with other bloggers and much more. That does include some work and since I love blogging, it encourages me to do something. It makes me feel less lazy and more productive. It actually makes me happy.

For all of these reasons and more, blogging is always worth it. It is by far the best decision I have ever made.

How does blogging helps you in your life? Do you feel a certain way about blogging?
