I get this question a lot, "Why do you blog?" or "What is your blog about?" Reasonable to most, but I always find myself responding in the same obvious way,
BECAUSE or I blog about... "stuff" and my life...
Here's the thing, when I started this blog 2 years ago I had every intention to use it as a means of communication between me and my family memembers. I would post updates about the latest happenings of my life in California and it would save me from repeating said stories 39 times. I have since strayed from the original idea for murphygoestocollege and I've turned it into somewhat of a sanctuary for my thoughts.
I suppose the real reason I blog is because I love to write. I don't know why, I just do.
I don't think people are stupid for asking, "WHY?"
I just think there are more important questions to ask.
I truly believe in what I have to say.
I believe in my thoughts and dreams, and in my purpose for being here.
It just takes one moment. Just one. That one reader passes on my blog to the next and before you know it I have an audience. People who believe in my thoughts, dreams and purpose, just like I do. I may not write about the same thing every time, my blog may be sarcastic, serious, sad, or just plain silly, but here you are reading anyway. And I love to think that somehow, someway, even if it was just ONCE, my blog has touched someone's life and they've walked away thinking about things a little differently.
That's what life is for. That's why I have this blog.
Because no one can go through life alone.
And when you ask people to listen, to read, and to care, you're really asking them to become a part of your life. And then they go on and they take a little piece of you with them and combine it with little pieces from others and there you have the gift of originality. You have art, music, realtionships and a blog.
Even on quiet nights, in quiet moments, when you don't have much to say at all;
you have reason to live, reason to keep sharing.
And that reason is others.
You are reason enough for me,
Kelci
