So everyday I find myself asking why be alive like whats the point. I wake up and just do the same thing, eat, sleep, go to work, hang with friends, etc. Whats the point to this cycle if im not happy and miserable. Well my point to this is that sometimes things happen that we cant control and theres people out there that care for you and you may think, well im dead so who gives a shit. I dont have to feel that im gone. But what if there is more to life then just these daily steps we take yea it takes a lot of work and determination. Nether the less something to work for something that makes you happy. Every time you do something for yourself, you buy your own car, bow, gun, fishing rod, computer anything that makes you feel accomplished in yourself. It feels good right? Those moments we look for, we grab at for someone to share our lives with someone to make us laugh, smile, feel warm, happy, and want to spend the rest our lives with. There is something in everyones life that makes it worth living, something that will make you happy but you have to fight for what you want. Dont just give up because of bumps in the road because the only person that can make you happy is yourself and dont ever let anyone change that. You are YOU the only person who makes decisions for you is yourself even if the whole world is against you fuck em you do WHAT YOU NEED TO DO be happy. You wanna make a movie, write a book, catch a fish, be first in a big race go for it the world is your rodeo. Grab it by the horns and enjoy the ride

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
