It has become a habit for me to log on to our class blog page then stop, think, and wonder what I will write about this time. Whether I know a topic to write about or not I always tend to look at all the other blogs people have posted. A half and hour later, I realize that I could have written a couple blogs myself and checked it off my list for a little bit. (Even though blogging is suppose to be a lifestyle.) Then, I say, "oh man... I guess I have to blog the next chance I get," and go on to do other homework. Today I unknowingly did the same routine, but while contemplating my topic I realized that I learn as much or more from reading others blogs than I do writing them. Yes, writing your thoughts and opinions is very important for helping you grow, plus it's therapeutic, but I feel that reading different opinions and insights help you grow by teaching you be open minded. Also, it expands your knowledge of a certain topic and reminds you to be more optimistic in life. I just read a blog about how our society tends to only focus on getting from point A to point B, not the journey in between. The message was to remind you that we are here on this earth to enjoy life and not rush through it; cherish every moment you have and live life not only for yourself, but for the genuine good of the world. This blog is an example of why I love to read them for so long. It inspires me to write so I can help someone else grow as well as myself. Ultimately, I learn how to be a better person by accepting others opinions, learning something here and there, and reflecting on personal experiences which connect to the bloggers message. Even if I might fall a little behind on my blogging, I'm okay with it because I'm learning from others along the way.
