purpose

What is the purpose of a blog, really?

When I started this little corner of mine, it was all because of a couple of other friends who wanted to start a sort of "hate blog" specially dedicated to Selena Gomez. Yes. I was part of the little "troupe" and I didn't post anything save for one little thing that, looking back, was and is really stupid. I was eleven and naive and had too much time on my hands. 

But now I am fifteen. (Or going to be anyway. October isn't that far away hAHA.) And I've grown so much from that bored tween to someone who perhaps has become a little better, stronger and wiser. I've gained and lost friends, all for the better, and I've discovered different little facets of life that still continue to aid me in my growth. 

This whole thing was initially supposed to be for "celeb gossip" and Hollywood updates and all that stuff. Then it started to lean over to being an advice page where I delved into all these "deep" topics that I–surprisingly–could write quite a bit about. Soon the advice stage moved over to just being a site dedicated to everything me. I wrote about things that happened to me each week and basically kept an online journal. I'd spill all sorts of random things from my life, converting my thoughts into a million pixels. 

I still kind of do that, but not really anymore. 

Sometimes I wish my posts had a point. I guess today's sort of has one. And I think it's that purposes change. Those who've been here from the very beginning can empathise with this little statement. This blog's purpose has changed quite a few times. You could say this could be a sort of analogy for life. Purposes change but we still go on. 

Wait. That's like something from Perks of Being a Wallflower. 

"Things change. And friends leave. Life doesn't stop for anybody."
                                                             – Stephen Chbosky

There we go. It took me long enough to realise that. So yes. I guess today's point is: KEEP GOING IT'S OKAY. YOU MESS UP, FALL DOWN, WHATEVER. GET UP, GET GOING, GO AND DO LIFE. 

Now. I'm just gonna go and figure what the purpose of my blog is.
