Why Did I start Blog for Cereal
Blogging for cereal came about during a time I really had to get my word out.
My "word out" meaning my voice out.
I had no other way of doing this beyond the cyber networking of social media.
The digital platform in the form of writing had become my friend.
Unbeknownst to me, the digital platform was gonna be my best friend for many years to come.

Why did I start "Blog for Cereal"?
I started this simply for the reasons I've provided in the paragraph above.
I needed an outlet. Someone to talk to (primarily, someone to simply listen).
Knowing someone would listen, if even if it was just one.
.
The feelings of inspiration were there. Like a hunger.
Blogging for cereal was a reflection of inner desperation to express me and to be heard.
By this time, I too wanted to be paid for my writings as well.
My need for financial gain was a must as well.
At this point in my life (as I continue to reflect ) realizing my time and needing money was valuable.
Needing to get paid for my energy. Like a two in one.
.
I wished that the discovery of the digital platform came earlier in my life. Was introduced at a time in my life when I didn't need money. When I wasn't waring with my parents and overall family and so-called friends.
.
Learning about this digital platform of "Blogging" came too late. I wished it had arrived during a time when all I had was time. Time to fully invest and submerge myself in the freedom and power of writing. I feel that I would have taken off on the blogging platform. Would have created a little name and or buzz around my writings. I just know it.
.
"Blogging for Cereal" the title came out of a form of desperation. Just like the homeless who hold the stereotypical sign "will work for food" I, on the other hand, would blog for cereal. At that time, I probably was eating so much cereal simply because it was quick and easy to make. My appetite was a wreck and I loathed going into the kitchen to fix myself some food as it took too long to make anyway and I just wanted to go back into my hole of unbeknownst depression.
.
The whole concept of learning that I could actually get paid to write online blurbs, articles and possibly get paid by me regularly posting "blogs" on my website address, opened my mind to a new window of opportunity. However, celebrating my joys about this newfound idea had to be suppressed only to myself. From previous experiences, I learned not to share my joys and happiness with so-called family and friends of things that brought me joy as they would ALWAYS find a low-key way to take it away.
