I never aspired to be a blogger. Why on earth would I want the world reading about my life and thoughts? Having to write this blog as a Writing 150 project, I realized that it isn't only about letting the world see me. Instead, it is about letting ME see me. It has allowed me to look back at who I was at the beginning of the class, as well as in my past. I've seen the changes and growth that I've experienced and been able find ways to improve myself in the future.
I want to continue blogging. If not for the entertaining of others, then for my own record. Writing down my stories has helped me to learn lessons in retrospect and remember my stories better than if I'd simply tried to keep the memories in my own head. I forget things easily unless someone reminds me of them. I don't want someone to have to remind me about certain aspects of my life and my past that made me who I am. I want to be able to remember those stories and be able to share them with my grandchildren when I'm 97 years old and still kicking.
