Favorite Things about Blogging {Ten Favorite Things}

Happy Monday everyone!! :) Today's A-Z Letter is F.... Favorite Things

I love blogging, I've been doing it consistently for almost a year now. And I'm still learning new things everyday about blogging, reading new blogs daily and meeting new people. :)  Last month I wrote a little history of why I love blogging, but here are my Ten Favorite Things about blogging. 
//one// Blogging is an outlet. I'm trying to be more open about myself more, and I feel like blogging allows me to be more open about my life, my feeling and thoughts.
//two// Creativity. If you couldn't tell already, but I love making things, whether it be food or projects. I love that blogging has allowed me to share recipes and D.I.Y projects. It has also showed me to find creativity everywhere, while writing, reading, drinking coffee, studying. 
//three// The blogging community. Like I said on my blog post last month, one of my favorite things is the blogging community. Luckily, I have had amazing people come through my blog who have read and my posts and who leave sweet comments. Bloggers are amazing!!! :) 
//four// With the community comes the friends. I would like to believe that I made friends on here. I met people that I wouldn't have otherwise have met if it wasn't for blogging, exchanges, comments, posts, link-ups, blog hops. 

From the words of Robin Farr from Farewell Stranger. Perfect life of a blogger.

//five// Inspiration and motivation. There are thousands of blogs. But what I love the most is reading blog posts from my favorite bloggers and being able to identify with them because of their words. It makes you realize that we are all going through similar things in life. There are so many inspiring stories out there about every aspect of life, and I just love reading.
//six// Entertainment. Just like there are many inspiring stories with a serious tones. There are so many bloggers I go to when I need a laugh, because their posts are so witty and creative and funny. It is also where I go to to get reviews of new products, books, shows, etc. I enjoy reading blogs just as much as I enjoy writing my posts. :)
//seven// Hobby. Blogging is one of my many hobbies, and as time passes, it has become something I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY enjoy doing, even if I still struggle to come up with my posts. I look forward to write at night and in the mornings on here. 
//eight// Learning new things. I feel like I've learned so many things through blogging. I've learned to do technical things about my blog. I've learned so many things about life, travels, foods, through other bloggers. I've learned about myself. That's what blogging does, it opens you up to learn new things. 
//nine// A journal to look back at. Just like blogging has become an outlet, I love that it was become a place that I can look back at and see what I was passionate about writing. I have a couple of posts that I wrote when I first started blogging (4 years ago), and I just like to read them and see how much I changed and/or stayed the same. 
//ten// Staying connected. My best friends and I started a group blog where we would post what was going on in our lives. It was one of the ways we were able to stay connected. I hope we can bring it back. 

Most of these probably go hand in hand with each other. Some are in a sense the same thing, heheh, but I had to get creative.. hehe. :)
