I have been blogging for quite a long time now, and although I go through months when I don't feel as motivated as others, I always keep up with it because I enjoy it so much. Here are a few reasons why I love blogging.

It's somewhere to share my thoughts. I have always loved writing, but I never had any ideas about what to write about. When I discovered blogs, I thought it would be the perfect oppotunity for me to write more. It's an amazing feeling when other people actually care about your thoughts and what you have to say.

The community. Blogging has given me the chance to speak to so many lovely fellow bloggers, especially being part of the teenage team. Our chat always makes me smile after a hard day. It's amazing to have that community to share ideas and feelings with. Lots of bloggers have their own blogging friendship groups and I feel very lucky to have mine in the teenage team.

It has taught me a lot. Through blogging I have learnt a lot about writing and photography I wouldn't have learned otherwise. Looking back on my posts from a year ago, my photos have massively improved, and so has my writing style. I've also learnt about HTML which is something I wouldn't have a clue about without blogging.

Giving and receiving feedback. It's a lovely feeling when you check your blog the day after you've posted to receive lots of lovely comments. I always love reading what people have to say about my post, reading positive feedback about my blog makes me feel really happy. But blogging isn't a one-sided thing; I also love reading and commenting on other blogs. I love discovering new, amazing blogs to read - if I have a free moment I'm probably reading the latest blog posts in my Bloglovin' feed!
