Blog and me

The concept and use of blogs appeared and spread at the end of the last century. People who’ve been born before the millennials still remember the time when everyone had a blog which was a prestigious and pretty popular occupation (and eventually became 2000’s aesthetic). 

This was another way to tell stories, express thoughts and opinions online (when Instagram didn’t take over the world yet and there were no pseudo philosophers with their «deep» long reads).

The theme of blogs was also very common in the entertainment industry. Images of bloggers have been everywhere in various films and TV series. 

To date, such heroes as Carrie Bradshaw, Gossip Girl (Dan Humphrey), and Barney Stinson have become the most memorable for me! Their characters and blogging style left a colorful imprint in my memory, which inspires me now.

I also want to combine Carrie’s daydreaming nature and lightness, Barney’s dedication and love for blogging, Dan Humphrey’s unbiasedness, and open-mindedness.

I still have a very abstract but interesting flashback moment of how, when I was five, I first saw a laptop on TV. It made such a strange impression on me since I did not understand what I just saw.  

The reason behind my inventiveness of new ways to entertain myself at childhood was that I’m the only child my parents had. I still clearly remember how I took the magazine, set it in front of me, made a mouse from improvised materials. Thus, without suspecting it, I imagined myself as a blogger! My childish game now smoothly passes into my direct duty – my future profession, if you will?  

Coincidence? Nah, I don’t believe in coincidences.

    1. I’m so sorry for spoilers😂💘😭 I remember how I was in 7th grade and someone spoilered to me that Dan is Gossip girl and I was like “so what I’m not gonna watch it anyway!” P.S. I watched everything just now this summer😂

  2. Yes, I noticed it too, good job on connecting the history of blog with your experience! And it’s so great that in a childhood you imagined yourself as a blogger, and now you really are! I liked your story 🙂

  3. I find it sacred. the smallest details from your childhood that you described led you to the CDS to study journalism! Now I don’t believe in chance either. and I really like how you started writing about blogging in general and reduced it to your own story
