Meme – 5 Reasons I blog
Ronald tagged me with a meme called “5 Reasons I Blog.” I like this meme as it will hopefully help you more compared to other memes, since it can show you the reasons that bloggers think are the driving force behind their blogs. If you wish, you can also read my introductory article that explains what memes are.
The main reason I blog is because I want to make a difference with my blog. Following are 5 of the many reasons that make up the major elements that make me blog, or at least help me be satisfied with my blog, like one of the points mentioned in Ronald’s list. I will list the basic points here and explain them in future posts.
- Voice opinions that people may usually not focus on.
- Communicate with people.
I can communicate through blogs and meet new people in ways that were not easily possible in my offline life. I try to communicate with people and learn better communication along the way, and I also try to pass on my understanding of communication onto others so we can all realize how communication can be affected by different elements.
- Try to help people realize how trends and stereotypes about things from both the offline and the online world may keep us from looking at situations from different perspectives.
This ranges from topics that talk not only about the majority discriminating against the minority but also the majority being discriminated by the minority, how sometimes being treated like a cash flow instead of a human being may be good, and also things like ethics of commenting.
- Show people that if I can blog to achieve success in different ways without forgetting about people that I met along the way, anyone and everyone else can.
These days many blogs respect commentors only to get more traffic. I want to change that mentality, and I also want that mentality changed in our offline lives.
- Make other lives better while making my life better also.
Blogging allows me to convey things I have learned through hardships, mistakes, and what I view today as wrong decisions, with others.
For this meme, I would like to tag anyone who wishes to be tagged. Please list the 5 reasons you blog and let me know, and I will link to you. Thank you. 
Thank you Ronald for tagging me. I really appreciate it. Thank you everyone, including Ronald, for reading this. I really appreciate you taking the time to read some of the reasons I blog. I will soon post separate posts explaining each of these points in detail.

Chau, thanks for being kind and agreeing.
You definitely don’t have to worry about # 2, the point about communicating with people. Your posts do a lot more than communicate. 
Glad you like the points. 
Vera, thanks for the nice words.
I’m glad to know that other people also try to aim for similar things. 
Number # 5 is amazing, isn’t it?
