Why blog?
I had an interesting interaction these days.
While I was in class waiting for it to start, I opened Bearblog (the class happens in the “computer room”), and the girl who sits by my side asked what I was looking.
I told her it was a blog, and she was excited because she used to have one back in school but did not remember the name or login. I told her how I had a blog and posted in english and she was surprised.
She started to ask many questions, what platform I used, if I knew how many people read my blog and things like that.
But then she asked, “Can you earn money with a blog?”
I was surprised and kinda sad. Blogging is a hobby, why would I want to monetize it?
I remembered this image:
It’s kinda sad that nowadays everything you do, even your hobbies, has to earn you something.
This is my first blog (and who knows? Maybe I’ll use it forever?) and I never wrote here for anything other than my own enjoyment.
I said to her I didn’t know, but probably yes on another platform, and the conversation died there.
I put the title as “Why blog?” so I’ll answer: to have fun!
Thanks for reading!
