Tired Being a Blogger or Am I just Shifted My Interest to Vlogging?

 That is what I have been thinking lately because despite having tons of ideas to write about, strangely, I seemed unmoved to sit and write them down. I don't know why.

I started blogging on September 18th, 2010. Yep, almost 16 years ago.  I worked in a small Christian kindergarten at that time and I wanted to document the activities I had in my class, and my students progress in a media where their parents and I could read.

Later, I kinda mixed it all since I put it as a diary and you know how diary works, you write anything in a diary, right? So I wrote about my students, my parents, my dogs, my traveling, my thoughts and so many other stuff in this blog. I don't have any niche. Well, that's just to give you a picture on when I started this blog, why I started it and what I wrote.

Ok, so back to the title: "Tired Being a Blogger or Am I just Shifted My Interest to Vlogging?"

But before I go on with it, I think I should say that I didn't just lose my desire to blog over night. It wasn't like I woke up in the morning and I just lost my interest on it. Nope. It happened slowly. From being regularly made a post almost every day to few times a week and then it went lesser like just one post a week that soon became one post a month, followed by one post when I felt like blogging.

It sad but it happened.

Maybe because I grew older and my focus shifted and I had more responsibilities, plus, had to deal with many obstacles, grief and changes.

Well, after I moved to America, I have more time and energy to spend on me and on my life. The question is why didn't I start blogging again?  14 months later I suddenly remembered "Oh yeah, I have a blog. Why don't I start to blog again?" Which I did make a return on December 2025 but could only keep it up for two months before I went back to silence.

Where did I go in March and April? Life didn't stop. In fact, I went to many places, ate lots of yummy food and life made quite few progress. But why didn't I go back here and write them all down? They would make great posts to read.

Well, ever since I found CapCut some time in 2025, I started learning how to put my videos and photos altogether and turn them into into a video. And I love it. I can't get enough of it so I keep making it and since I love taking photos and videos, I have plenty of materials to turn into videos. I set up my own channel in YouTube and so I have become a vlogger.. haha..

Vlogging and blogging are two different things, of course, I am happy to say that I am a writer, a blogger and also a vlogger. However, though vlogging requires more time to do than blogging, I found vlogging more appealing and challenging to do. I get more stimulation from the photos and videos that I took rather than blogging.

Blogging and writing used more of my mind and imagination, to me, they are very much influenced by mood. When my mood was not good, I lost interest to write as I couldn't connect myself with my mind and imagination didn't work. I couldn't focus nor absorb myself into the story.

So yes, I would rather vlog than blog. But I should blog again. I am gifted with a restless mind and I need to calm it. Vlogging does calm it a bit but the mind keeps saying it is not enough and fills it with stuff that I know I should write them down. So yeah, I will be back here with stuff, thoughts, articles or stories.

See ya later then. Have a great day and don't forget to count your blessings and not just counting your bad lucks. Well, do both to make them balance *wink wink*
