Why write a blog?

I've asked myself a few times, why write a blog?

Businesses do it to connect with their customers, provide resources and increase marketing base. People do it to share stories, experiences, teach, and put themselves out there for friends, family, and yes, businesses to see.

But what about me? What could I possibly have to say that would be of any use to you, the reader? I'm just an ordinary, 27 year old guy living in Vancouver.

I think that's it though. I'm an ordinary, 27 year old guy. I don't know about you, but lot's of 27 year old guys don't really talk about their experiences. It's a tough time, recently out of school, trying to build a life, trying to build a career, and having to grow up in a hell of a hurry.

I've tried to write blogs before, most of them were "hey, here's my thoughts on a book I read" or "oh here's something that frustrated me". Most of them never lasted more than a couple posts. I lost interest in them almost as fast as my readers did.

What is different this time? What do I have to offer? I'm sure I have experiences to speak to a lot of people, but that's not why I'm writing. I'm sure other people are going through the same journey as me, but that's not why I am writing. I'm sure other people could learn from the success and mistakes I make on my career journey, but that is not why I am writing.

I am writing for me. That's it, and that's why I think that maybe I'll write a couple more posts this time, because I don't care what you think, this is for me.
