I started blogging Jan 2014 (well...Nov/Dec 2013 to be specific). I guess that makes it 5 years since. Some things have changed in my life and I've learned quite a bit from blogging, I'm just amazed at how much time has gone by. It feels 'almost' like yesterday when I started blogging.
My primary goal in blogging was to wean myself away from social media and it has proven successful. I'm able to post whatever I want, whenever I want and not feel pressured or watched by my friends and family who may find offense with what I write. Granted, I write generally benign, practically boring stuff, it's still nice to be somewhat free under semi-anonymity (we are never truly anonymous online).
By freeing myself from the constant need (addiction) of checking social media every few minutes...I've probably given myself back 2-3 hours to invest in the mundane habit called 'living' and 2-3 hours a day is a lot of time. I can sit and relax, get lost in my thoughts and daydream.
