Writing taps into your imagination and creativity. Why do I write for myself?

Why do I write for ME? In my last post I was considering shutting the blog down. I was frustrated and expressed my frustration by wanting to just close it's doors. My frustration was due to a simple question. "Why do I write for you?" Like I talked about earlier in a blog post. I wanted to get some feed back to see why people visit here? Is my blog inspiring, motivational, off the wall, silly....? I felt I needed to know so it will give me an idea of which direction to go. I expressed my frustration in the post and I felt that in my opinion I felt it was selfish to reach 10.000 visitors and not have one person comment on anything.  I felt like it was a one way relationship. I felt "what's the purpose? Isn't that what the whole idea of a blog is?" It's almost like someone coming over to your house eating up all you food and then leaving without saying thank you. You just take, but don't give.


You might be reading that and thinking "Ya! that stinks that know-one does that" but at the same time is that "Know-one" you? The last few days have been a growing period for me. I learned that I can't take things so literally or personally. Maybe people don't know me enough or find it hard to understand or even know where I'm coming from and therefore can't communicate or express their thoughts.

I feel as thought this blog is more for myself. I found it difficult in the last few days to not write any posts. I believe that in some way writing in this blog helped me tap into my creativity and inventing magic process. Seeing the numbers of visitors grow was my inspiration as well as my motivation to keep writing. I think in life it's important to have inspiration. It's amazing how you can get inspired by visitor visits and not even see who they are.  I wonder if all along it was myself that I was inspiring. A few days ago I went to check my blog settings and noticed the "Track my page views"was selected. Maybe all along I may have had only a few people visiting. I might of very well been my most visited visitor. I was wondering why I have been going through so many mouses. 
So with all that being said it actually helped me think that maybe we can INSPIRE OURSELVES! if anyone should know ourselves more it's ourselves. We should be able to inspire ourselves by our LOVE, GIFTS AND TALENTS and hopefully pass that onto others. I think we should all be practicing loving ourselves instead of worrying about the next person that we are going to impress. IMPRESS for YOU and your CREATOR.

In the world of social media we feel a overwhelming feeling of having to constantly get approval of how good and great we are. "Look I'm performing here, look I'm on TV, this is my sports car, I have a new trick out, doesn't our vacation pictures make you jealous? and so on.... We all have the need and desire to get noticed and seek recognition, approval, respect and support, but we have to give it as well. So I'm going on a quest to reach out to as many people as I can and give them LOVE and SUPPORT. The most important thing when giving support is to be genuine. If people can't be genuine about giving love and support then it becomes a "About me" support, and I don't want that.


So I would like to thank the few visitors for visiting as well as thanking myself for visiting. If you ever get down in a slump and your asking yourself "What am I doing wrong?" Maybe it's time to pull up a chair and have a little chat with your best friend. That best friend is YOU!
