Over the years. I have started blogs (and quit them) because it seemed like no one was reading them. Now that I have grown older, possibly even a tiny bit wiser, I realized that it doesn't matter if anyone ever reads my writing. It matters more that I write.
To practice any form of art is how one gains skill, knowledge, experience and confidence.
Writing is a form of art. To put one's thoughts into words and to share them with others, the world even, is an art form. Stories, poetry, journaling - all forms of written art.
I practice many different hobbies (knitting, cross-stitching, gardening, reading, etc.) for the pure enjoyment of them. Writing should be no different. But yet my mind tells me that no one wants to read my thoughts put out into the world. Sometimes our minds are liars.
If nothing else, this blog will give me a place to practice this new art form - a place to write.
And maybe, someone, somewhere will read it and like it too.
