THE REASONS WHY I BLOG:

Writing has always been my thing. I remember writing letters to many penpals around the world when I was in high school and college. Writing is the best way for me to express myself and feelings. I used to write many poems also before, which mostly I only keep for myself. I used to doodles, write quotes in my notebook, write journals and diaries. And even collect cute notebooks and journals as well with the aim of writing more. I still write diaries until now when I have the time. Though life gets really busy. So have you ever wonder why Aka Chymecindy blog exits on the internet? Here’s why!

Here are the reasons why I blog.

Daily Journal

I started blogging in 2009 when I was alone, single, working and not knowing what to do with my life next. The main purpose of the blog was to save the photographs I have and document my adventures. Fast forward to 2011 when I moved to Finland, I blogged daily to write a journal on what I did on that day. A daily journal of a sort with photos every day. Until I got pregnant and had a baby, it was when I had more reasons to blog.

Photography

Aside from writing, I have also a passion for photography. The main reasons for this blog are to save my photographs while writing stories about my life and my daughter. I love taking a photo as fas as I remember. So when I got my very first DSLR I made photography a serious thing. I shared my favorite photos here on the blog.

Documenting Life

Our kids grow really fast, this is another reason why I blog. I wanted to document everything about my daughter’s life. First solid food, first steps, first day at daycare, first day in school, and so on and so forth. I try to take photos as much as I can. Write stories as I can. One day I will be grateful why I am doing this. Our whole life is written on this blog, and it’s where we look back at the time and remember what happened years ago.  This blog also serves as a photo diary as my little girl is growing up.

A Hobby

Blogging is just a hobby for me, although I started to earn money from it before which I don’t do now due to a busy life and no time. It is for now just a hobby. I blog when I have time. Usually on my day off, or late nights when my daughter is asleep and my brain is working and eager to write. This is my stress reliever and my reminder that life can be fun and wild. I blog whenever I feel like. Sometimes I don’t blog for a week or a month, and sometimes I blog every day. It basically depends on my mood. When I am tired and lazy, I don’t remember my blog at all. And sometimes when I am inspired, I blog even if it’s very late at night.

Travel Journal

I wouldn’t want to miss all our travels here and abroad. Whether a big holiday, short and quick weekend getaways, etc. All the trips are documented here. This is what I love about blogging. You can write a blog post now and you can read it later. I like that I am able to write travel journals, share travel photos and inspire others to explore outside more and take that small trips. All our travels have been documented on this blog, photos and stories included.

So there you go, the main reasons why I blog. Blogging is fun and challenging. I love and enjoy blogging.

All the photos were taken in Romania. Such a beautiful country!
