Reasons to start a blog now/why start a blog

You may be wondering… what does a blogger do? It may differ from blogger to blogger, but this is basically what I personally spend my time doing as a blogger. I don’t consider myself a full-time blogger yet, however, I still pour a huge amount of time into my blog. Since losing my job; which I've mentioned on quite a few occasions, I've poured much more time into my blog. I love my blog baby and it has been a wonderful experience watching her grow. Most of my friends and family don't even…

Bloggers work hard! We pour so much love and time into the posts we write so it feels good when people acknowledge our work. There’s so much more to blogging than just writing posts and hitting publish. You guys get to see the finished product but sometimes what goes on behind the scenes isn’t always smooth sailing. After putting so much love into your work, whatever it may be, it’s always a wonderful feeling when you see the fruits of your labor and it’s the same for bloggers. When you come…

These ideas have been gathered from around the web…

What is stealthing you ask? Stealthing is that despicable thing that some people do whereby they take the condom off without your knowledge or consent during sexual intercourse. A gross violation! It's actually a form of sexual assault, it's just that nobody has actually been to jail for it. This happened to…

Being alone will always be better than being with the wrong person or someone who doesn't love or appreciate you. So many people have tried to tell me how I feel about being single; they've said things to me like " you can't be single and happy; there's no such thing"; "stop lying to yourself you're not happy being single" or " you guys broke up so long ago why haven't you moved on?". Even so-called friends have said something to that effect to me. I would like to address the last…
