Why do you blog?

I blog because I have something to say. Not just to speak—but to express, release, and reflect. Blogging gives me space to get things off my chest, to share what’s on my mind, and to honor the experiences that shaped me. I’m an individual with a story, and I believe stories are meant to be shared.

I love to read because I love to learn. I would listen to an animal if it could tell me about its life. That’s how deep my curiosity runs. Every blog I read is a chance to pause, reflect, and say, “I never looked at it that way.” Those moments—those quiet revelations—are why I keep coming back to the page.

When I write, I’m not just telling my story. I’m inviting you to think about yours. Maybe something I say will remind you of a time you faced a similar situation. Maybe you’ll see how I handled it and think about how you did. That’s the beauty of blogging: it’s not just about me. It’s about us.

We’re all different. Our experiences take us down different streets. And that’s okay.

I love New Balance shoes. I love the way they feel on my feet. But does that mean I should talk down on other gym shoes? No! It just means I prefer what’s comfortable for me. That’s how life works. We learn from each other’s preferences, stories, and truths. We don’t have to agree to grow.

I LOVE meeting someone who is not me. It gives me joy to read about someone else’s life, to walk in their shoes for a moment, and to see the world through their lens. That’s why I blog. That’s why I read. That’s why I listen.

Because learning starts with listening.

    1. Your writing experience reflect a classic one. Many writers struggled as novice with clarity. When they figured it out, a lot of earlier writers had the same idea.

      What is important that a generation comes and go but understand the fundamental clarity of what it means to “know what I think!”

  2. Preston @ Lacrease,

    You are so clear and brilliant that you approach blogging as an unselfish multi-faceted experience. All you have to do is show up.

    You make it seem like you didn’t show up for you but for us to reflect, to release, and to explore the realm of the human shared experience.

    I had never heard it quite expressed like that. Reading how you walk across the tight rope, reminds me to dance back to you. Such dissimilarity breeds reciprocity and learning becomes a commodity exchange. As you mention, you don’t want people to look like you, or write similarly to you but the dissimilarity reflects the unique experiences that differ from one another. Reflecting on the way you make gravy will influence me to step up to the stove.

    I like the way you shared the learning experience with your readers in this multidimensional paradigm — inviting/readers to tap into their energies, perhaps lying dormant toward the possibilities and opportunities.

    Thank you Lacrease for digging deep into the realm of your person, providing me with nuance into the magic of your blogging experience.
