Hey everyone ^-^ For a while now, I have always wanted to use my blog here to communicate with people - however, I thought it may be a pointless endeavour insofar as my posts would be boring, or go unnoticed, or simply just be uninteresting. However, after the response towards my recent blog-post (a plea to army), I started to reconsider, thinking maybe there was a chance I could somehow communicate with people.

In my life, I have had several experiences, and I wanted to use what I went through to bring positive benefits to people around me. Here, on AFF, whilst my audience may not be in the thousands, it matters little to me - if my words could communicate to even one person, I would be thankful. I wanted to use my blog to talk sincerely about topics such as kpop, mental illness, body image and self acceptance. On first thoughts (kpop aside!), AFF may not be the best place to express these posts; however, that being said, the audience here is actually perfect, in many ways. I have seen so many users talk of low self-esteem, mental health and similar issues, and I have always wanted to be able to reach out to them somehow, even if my words would go unlistened to. I want to help people somehow foster more positive images of themselves without the imposition of condescension, I want to help break stigmas, and I also want somewhere I can freely share my opinions on the k-pop industy, my concerns, my support, my appreciation for the idols themselves, and so forth. 

So, can I ask - do you think I should try it? Should I try and use my blog to communicate to others here? I wouldn't expect anything in return. I know that some people may believe this to be an inappropriate forum to address issues like health, but I would do so in a respectful manner, drawing only upon my personal experiences, and reflecting only a positive message. 

Would you guys be interested in reading it? Do you think it could work?

Thank you for any responses!
