What is the definition of a blog?
According to google, a blog is a regularly updated website or web page, typically one run by an individual or small group, that is written in an informal or conversational style Link to cite .
Many might define a blog just like google has, but they do not seem to mention the impact one's blog might have on a human soul.
A cup of Jo is a perfect example of a blog I found that appeals to my journey of finding myself. A cup of Jo gives advice about relationships all the way to life in general. It finds a connecting point that brings a certain group of people together. It makes the line between reader and writer that much more blurry, A cup of Jo strives to make a community that bases around connection and comfort. For that I admire this blog.
Huffpost (Formerly “The Huffington Post”) is also an awesome example of a blog I personally would not prefer to read about. It focuses too much about all the negatives in this world without putting a light onto the usual life of anyone in this world. It makes the gap between the reader and the writer extremely far apart. In a way, it feels like I would never be able to connect with their stories as much as I would like to. It is too professional for my liking and puts too much professional pressure on the reader.
Blogs are not for everyone. Even if blogs were for everyone, the topics would be specific for each and every person. Someone focusing on art might not like a blog centered around technology. Overall, blogs can be beautifully written but not nearly as appreciated as they should be. Blogs are very appealing to me and I hope I can keep learning about the people around me through these small windows into their life.
Always remember that there is someone still waiting to love you in full.
You are worth more than you'll ever know <3
Have a great night ~ Jesse
