Why is it so hard?

MiaLeave a comment

Blogging everyday. I never had any real goals before and this blog is one example why. I just get bored easily. The thought I have to post everyday feels difficult. I thought I could do it but it seems I can’t. I tried but things just doesn’t come out. My head is empty. My goal was to post everyday but that’s not me.

You don’t write because you want to say something, you write because you have something to say.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald

I would say it a little differently “I don’t write because I have to, I write because I have something to say” And if I don’t have anything say, why bother posting. I could always write nonsense but who wants to read that. Really.

I’ll go back to the shadows now. I come back when I have something “important” to say.

Day 16:When Daily Prompt and Zero to Hero come together

I haven’t taken part in the Daily Prompt because I really haven’t had writer’s block. And Zero to Hero and the Weekly Photo challenge is enough. Today’s Daily Prompt is one example why I don’t take part in it. Questions I have no answer to. It’s about reputation. I don’t have a “reputation” Maybe is school. Which was ages ago. People probably saw me as shy and introvert. I was but they could have at least made an effort to get to know me. I’m a Gemini so one day I can be very quiet but other times I’m not. I was totally different when I was with my family. Some people think I’m always quiet but that’s not true at all.

Finnish people have a reputation of being shy and drink alcohol a lot. That might be true but not everyone is like that. I think it has nothing to do with Finland or Finnish people. And no there’s no polar bears on the streets. Or cold weather all year around. We have 4 seasons, winter, spring, summer and autumn/fall. And not everyone in Finland likes saunas. Not everyone has blue eyes and blonde hair. Some Finns can be reserved at first but if you’re nice to them, they’re nice to you. I guess that goes with most people anyway.

Actually I did have something to say about reputation after all :D. Once you start to write, you can’t stop.

Day 14: Blogger’s Choice!

This is a great opportunity to thank everyone who has been reading this blog and thanks for following. Without Zero to Hero Challenge, this could not have been possible. It really inspired me to continue with blogging. I’m sure everyone that has joined this challenge, feels the same.

What I’ve learned from this challenge, is how to use Reader. Before I didn’t even think how useful that was. I usually learn things by finding out myself. Most things done in the challenge were already familiar to me. But I also got a few tips, like layouts and stuff like that.

Even though this blog is not about my personal life, people are still interested to read it. I think the world would be a better place, if people would just enjoy what they have. Life shouldn’t be all serious. I haven’t had an easy life so far but it won’t let it get to me. I just want people light up and forget their problems for a while. That’s what I want from this blog. An excape from reality. And hopefully someone wants the same.

Speaking of an excape from reality. I could watch this scene over and over again. Try to figure out why.
