Why do I blog?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I blog because it is fun. I blog because it is a chance for me to share my personal lessons, ideas, and life with others. I blog because it is the most effective form of communication\/publication (I have discovered, so far).<\/p>\n

I blog because I feel it is my purpose in life. I blog because I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m good at it (I can type 135 words per minute). I blog because if I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t blog, I feel depressed. I blog because I learn better for myself, when I write about it.<\/p>\n

I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t consider myself, nor do I really consider myself as a blogger. I just see myself as a curious individual, who likes to share what he has learned.<\/p>\n

I blog each day like it were my last. I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to wait until I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m on my death bed. I want to share the life lessons I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve learned so far. And I want to share what I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m currently working on, what I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m currently thinking; mostly imperfect things in-progress.<\/p>\n

I know I will never be a perfect blogger. I type how I write, hopefully in a kind, friendly, conversational way. I have a lot of typos, and grammatical errors. I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t mind so much. For the most part, I never edit my text after I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve written them.<\/p>\n

I blog because it helps me flesh out my ideas. I blog because I best express myself through typing text.<\/p>\n

I blog because I own this blogging platform; and I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get censored like I can get censored on social media.<\/p>\n

I blog because it helps me bare my soul with others.<\/p>\n

I blog because it helps build an international community of like-minded thinkers, readers, writers, bloggers, photographers, and passionate souls.<\/p>\n

I blog because I feel there is a lack of useful information on the web. I blog about what I wish I<\/em> could read.<\/p>\n

I blog because it helps me become more courageous. To share my ideas, which might be controversial.<\/p>\n

I blog for my future children. I blog, as if I were writing letters to my past self.<\/p>\n

I blog as a way of fighting off boredom, sloth, and ennui.<\/p>\n

I blog because I think I have a gift for blogging. I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to waste my gift.<\/p>\n

I blog because it is easier than writing books. I blog because it allows me to share imperfect works-in-progress. I love blogging, because no blog posts ever need to be perfect. I could never be an academic (like Cindy).<\/p>\n

I blog, because I want to encourage more people to blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I blog for freedom, for ideas, and to empower others. I blog to create information for photographers that is actually useful. I blog because I believe that information should be open, free, and easily-accessible.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u201d<\/p>\n

Why do I blog? For you.<\/p>\n

Always,
\nEric<\/p>\n
