Why I Blog
In the past 3 years of blogging, this question, or the rude comments have popped up many times.Why do I blog?Well, you know what....it's not why you think. Every blogger out there has their own reasons. Many, see the lux life of those huge bloggers like Happily Grey and The Blonde Salad making millions for posting on instagram and will do what ever they can to grab that fame and run with it. Then, there are girls like my childhood best friend Keisha of Loving Little Blog whos new and blogs because she lives a world away from all of her family and friends. Its a way for us to feel part of her life. And then there are girls like me. I started Wild Rosebuds as many of you know, because I needed an out for my thoughts in my head. It was a way of therapy for me, and to state the facts of my life instead of allowing people to make judgement calls and rumors from my Facebook profile. And, yes, within the past years, paychecks have come from companies that I believe in and 100% I work for them. But, I also turn many down. Yes, sometimes I have moments of forgetting what I do this for and yes my blog has evolved into much more than a coping journal for the stresses in my life. But, I do this for ME, not for you (though I love when my words inspire or help) I don't do this for the money because to be honest, those sponsored posts are few and far between. I don't have a dream of being famous. My dream is to work a great job with purpose that makes a steady income to support our family and life comfortably. That is not something I ever expect to happen through my blog. Because I am real to myself about that fact, my content is real. I don't post selfies to "get attention" or talk about companies "to gain likes and followers". Those things do sometimes happen, but I do it because you readers and followers are my friends in a way. If you got a sweater on sale for $4, your gonna want to tell your family and friends about it so they can too. If I find an amazing product that I now use everyday, I'm going to want to recommend it to who ever listens. Every statement is from the heart not the wallet and I want you to be aware of that. In this world when girls are saying that social media is fake, well it can be. But, me? I'm real and will continue to be.Katie Rose xo
