*Why I BLOG*

Today instead of the usual confessing, 

I'm linking up with Leslie for

Blink. Blink. Blink.

That's what this cursor was doing when I first tried to write this post.

I expected to feel the words flowing like a river 

through my fingers to a keyboard, 

but then all a sudden...Nothing.

WHY DO I BLOG!?!?!?

WHYYYYYYYYY

DO IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

BLOOOOOOGGGG!?!?

For my thoughts, for fun and for friendship!

I started my blog on March 9, 2010.

WOW, that's THREE years ago!

Time sure does fly.

Initially, my blog was just about recording my feelings.

I was in a mixed up place and relationship
and wanted an OUTLET for my thoughts.

If you wanna see some RAW Pinky moments,
go back and read some of my first posts.

The writing was grittier and the feelings were raw.

Check out the post about my then bf breaking up with me
the weekend of my birthday party...

WINNER!
barf!

 Blogland stayed pretty 'breakuptastic'
from April until October.

I may not have posted much the first
few months, but this piece of the Internet
was super special to me because it was
MY SECRET OUTLET.

I joined my first linkup in October for
What I'm Wearing Wednesdays. 
I remember being SO NERVOUS about linking up
but the first comments I received MADE MY DAY!

2011 was the year I began actually making an effort to blog.

Pink land started to become my creative outlet,
along with my journal.

I wasn't just recording feelings, I was also writing for fun,
writing to be creative and to make things interesting.

Late 2011 and into 2012 was when I began actually FORMING friendships blogging

and I was blown away by how fun and uplifting they were. 

I started to connect with girls via comments and link ups. 

Suddenly, I wanted my blog to be something fun for others to read,

sort of a form of entertainment. 

I started jotting down ideas of post on my phone

and even downloaded blogger to my phone. 

There was a point I found myself TRYING
to grow my numbers
but then I realized I went away from WHO
I WAS and why I blogged.

I blog for me and my life.

2013 has already been the best YEAR
of my life and will continue to be I'm sure.

I'm SO HAPPY I will have this lil bit of space
to look back on down the road.

I've formed some amazing friendships from this blog
and I hope to continue to create more.

So IN SHORT...

I BLOG FOR ME!

I BLOG FOR MY LIFE!

I BLOG FOR FUN!

I BLOG FOR FRIENDSHIPS!

Why do you blog?!?!
