Time Lapse

It's been a long time since I have thought about, let alone visited this blog.

Lately I have found myself reading more and more blogs. Blogs about food, blogs about home decor, blogs about life... and I have found that its really easy to get lost in a blog. I love reading about other people's experiences, their thoughts, and getting great ideas for my own life based on recommendation from others. I find blogs a great way to get inspiration.

This had driven me to begin thinking about blogging again. I have tried blogging a few times and have given up. I think I put too much pressure on myself to blog every day and expected tons of followers and comments right away.

Anything I have read about blogging is that starting up takes time and that you can't have high expectations, not on yourself and on readership. So maybe I need to just change my expectations and start blogging for me and forget about the rest.

I think blogging will be a good way to keep track of life, to push me to try new recipes, take more photos, put my thoughts down on paper, and keep myself disciplined to write. All of the above things are goals that I would like to attain and things that hold great importance to me.

So, I am thinking I might try to blog again and just see how it goes. Take off any pressure and just do this for me as a way to reach some personal goals. I think this is the right perspective.

So, my question is: Am I the only one who loves blogs? What kinds of blogs do people like to read? What are the motivations of people starting blogs?

And most importantly,

If I blog and no one reads it, is it still valuable and worth my time?

I think so.
